Amidst the harmonious tunes of Southern folk songs by the Louisville Collegiate Choir, Kim Schatzel was inaugurated as the 19th president of the University of Louisville in front of Grawemeyer Hall Friday.

The historic event, however, was not without its share of controversy. Protestors gathered to silently voice concerns about hate speech and a controversial compensation study.

United for a Cause

The U of L leadership team — including representatives from various organizations within the student body and professors from each college — were in attendance, showcasing a united front as Schatzel took the helm.
