Probably a 10...

Our President, Roger Webb is *aggressively* fighting to make UCO Oklahoma's next comprehensive University. We're currently rebuilding our stadium -- I think he's shooting to be a Division IAA school in the next few years (the stadium's really pathetic right now). The school is thinking WAY outside the box as far as raising capital. We used to be a traditional teacher's college and were that way probably through the 60's.. So not a lot in the way of rich alumni. We're trying to bring in a Major League Soccer Franchise for example.

The student body is energetic in helping the school achieve its goals, he works with the student leaders and actually runs policies through us before he implements them. We for example approved a measure that would raise tuition 7% (it's needed) just recently. Despite HUGE cutbacks and being the lowest student to dollar ratio in the state we had the largest freshman enrollment increase in the state last year.

He's very pro-Greek (an SAE I think)... Turns a lot of stuff completely over to us. Great guy all around.
