By Arry Schofield —

After almost ten weeks in office, President Neeli Bendapudi has put in a tremendous effort to change U of L for the better. In her short time, she’s removed Papa John’s name from Cardinal Stadium, and developed relationships with students, faculty, staff and others in the community.

With her willingness to take action quickly and focus on transparency, some professors are even calling her the “Ruth Bader Ginsburg of U of L.”

After a trend of scandals in university administration, especially under ex-president James Ramsey, Bendapudi exudes confidence in her focus on the student experience.
