President Rob Oden quoted in Washington Post op/ed.
29 May 2005President Robert A. Oden Jr. was quoted in an op/ed piece written by former Major League Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent in the May 29 Washington Post.

The piece states: “Rob Oden, when he was president of Kenyon College in Ohio, made this point. ‘Look, this is a little like poking the bear with a sharp stick,’ he told me. ‘The strong schools who only give aid based on need are the bear. When they begin to notice what we are doing because they are losing good students, they will respond and the game will end.’ (Oden is now president of Carleton College, a top-ranked school in Minnesota, which, like Williams, does not grant merit aid.)”
