MORRIS: A missing piece
Last week, a fellow University student, Rebecca Kugler, criticized Senator Mark Warner for refusing to accept the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy’s invitation for a U.S. Senate debate with Republican candidate Ed Gillespie ahead of this fall’s election. Rightly so, considering that Mark Warner has sweepingly rejected debate invitations from universities across Virginia, such as Virginia Tech and George Mason. Kugler insists Ed Gillespie’s readiness to debate — in contrast to Mark Warner’s reluctance — demonstrates Gillespie’s superior devotion to public accountability.
