Sexton's promotion may be good for NYU

As WSN reported today, NYU President John Sexton has been chosen to chair the board of directors at the American Council on Education, which represents 90 percent of American colleges and universities. As a top official in the ACE, Sexton will have a platform on the national stage when it comes to issues facing the field of higher education.

We hope that his new role will not impede on any of his duties as president of NYU. However, it would be beneficial if he could use the position to advocate for the many issues that face our community, and lobby for new policies that confront the rising cost of college in America.
