Not interested in a partisan Republican politician being President of our largest public university.

Jim Tressel might be ok, but I'm also skeptical about having a major college football coach as university President considering the numerous college athletics scandals that have involved school administration covering up some heinous shit. Athletics tend to foster a very cult like dynamic between coaches, players, and students.

Tressel at least has experience as a state university president, though I know nothing about how he handled the job.
