Strong keep -- university presidents are inherently notable and this one does not lack for press coverage (>1000 Google News archive hits)--A. B. ^(talk) 17:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: most of those Ghits are not pertinent, though. If you search for "James Harris" and "Widener" or for "James T. Harris" and "Widener", you get many fewer hits and even those are not all pertinent. Harris and James are rather common names.... --Crusio 19:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has been (vice-)president of several smaller universities/colleges. I have cleaned-up the article and tagged it for better sourcing and verification. --Crusio 18:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. President of a university is notable, he's won several awards, and his name appears in the press. For example, he was just listed in the Philadelphia Inquirer as one of the higher paid university presidents: Kathy Boccella (November 12, 2007). "College presidents work in halls of higher earning".

Keep per Elonka. that the institution is relatively unimportant would seem to make this all the more notable. But the awards must be referenced DGG (talk) 05:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
