Stop trying to turn international attacks into personal ones

A gruesome attack happened in London on Wednesday, leaving five dead and dozens more injured. It is a horrible, tragic event that occurred, despite increased security measures throughout Europe in the recent years. There’s a lot to take in. In the past two or three years, Europe has been struck by frequent terror attacks. The strategy behind this one — using a vehicle and then a knife to attack law enforcement officers — is described by the British security service as a “marauding attack,” something they have been preparing for. The British officers were able to stop the attacker, and Scotland Yard is now working on protecting the city as well as investigating the attack as a whole.

Fuchs: Thanks to the shepherds and leaders

The most important leader at a great research university is not the president. UF has about 1,000 administrative entities with leaders, including departments, schools, colleges, centers, institutes, programs and divisions. I hope to visit all of these entities while I am president, which will require I serve until I’m 90 years old, longer than Presidents Albert Murphree and John Tigert.
