As a student at the time, she was not exactly loved by the students. She was certainly a polarizing figure, beyond her political perspective.

That is surprising to me because I do not remember that as an undergraduate I ever had a single thought about the provost of the university and am pretty sure I had no idea who held the position.

I suppose Rice may have had a higher profile than most since she had already served in the Bush I administration - but I am still surprised undergrads noticed a provost enough to be polarizing.

Was there a Provost in the 60s?  I knew who the President, Wally Sterling, was only because I lived near his house and he would invite us over once in awhile for a glass of wine and a chat.  Usually about broken beer bottles.
