The Murray State University Racers Men's Basketball team is in San Diego preparing for the NCAA game on Friday. President Bob Davies is also in San Diego representing the university. This week, Matt Markgraf spoke with Davies about the trip, plans to rebuild Richmond Residential College, how the university is working to address budget pressures and a scholarship to honor a victim of the Marshall County High School shooting.
In the longer version of the interview, they discuss a 'good news report' of recent faculty and staff achievements, how Davies is spending his time in San Diego while the Racers play in the NCAA tournament, some background about the Richmond rebuilding process, more about addressing budget pressures, a nursing scholarship to honor Bailey Holt - a Marshall County High School student killed in the January shooting and an effort to encourage students to sign up to live on campus.
