Being president of a major public university is the most political nonpolitical office around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that our office has clearly been the leader in building coalitions, in getting other universities across the contrary to interact more effectively with the government and particularly the Congress.
The student community of Presidency College was also politically most active.
In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people's office.
I've never sought elected office since I was a senior class president in high school.
The politicization of the presidency would pose a real threat to the institution and its function.
Politics means competition, especially in senior positions. If you don't know that, you're not especially suited to politics.
After the presidency, there's nowhere else to go in politics.
I'm not going to run for political office.
I didn't run for student council president. I don't see myself in any way in elected office. I love policy. I'm not particularly fond of politics.
The most important political office is that of the private citizen.
