Floyd: Approaching subjects with a new outlook

Another link I found in the opinion section of the Daily Evergreen. The writer discusses talking to WSU president Floyd about stopping the golf course construction until a source of renewable water is found.

Personally I see Floyd as a man who has the power to do something about this situation. He showed everyone at WSU that he was able to look at a problem differently than past presidents when he closed the school for two days due to excess snow. Most presidents would have upheld that academics were the priority which is the reason school hasn't been closed for over 20 years. Floyd was able to see the fact that the safest thing for students and professors was to cancel school, so he did. Hopefully he can approach all issues with this attitude.
