Colleges and universities have been at the center of some controversial issues lately. We're talking with University of Vermont President Tom Sullivan about these issues and how they play out at Vermont’s largest public university.
On affirmative action: a Justice Department investigation is underway into whether considering race in college admissions amounts to discrimination.

We'll ask Tom Sullivan about his thoughts on these controversies, and how UVM fits into these big national discussions.
