The newspaper endorses Eugene Driker and Debbie Dingell for the two open positions on the WSU Board of Governors. The article mentions that Driker says he realized the American dream thanks in part to Wayne State, where he earned a bachelor's degree and graduated first in his class from the law school. A connection to the city of Jackson is mentioned, in that he once represented the former Consumers Power Co, headquartered there, in a case involving Dow Chemical Co. and an unfinished nuclear power plant in Midland. Regarding Dingell, the editorial says she is "well-positioned to help Wayne State play a role in the crucial linkage between higher education and high-tech economic development." The newspaper also mentions that Casandra Ulbrich, a development director at WSU, is a candidate for the State Board of Education.
