How's this for IRONIC

Dr. Glasser came to Bradley from Eastern Kentucky University. (That's hardly news to anyone)

Dr. Glasser was hailed as Eastern Kentucky's FIRST woman President. (That's hardly news either - it's what her bio says on the EKU site.)

But did you know that suddenly that fact has been blown away!

Yup - by PROCLAMATION this week, Mary C. Roark is now named as Eastern Kentucky's FIRST woman President.
The Eastern Kentucky Board of Regents voted to remove the term "acting President" from Mary C. Roark's title when she served in 1990-1910 - and now she is hailed as President Mary C. Roark - becoming the University's second President and FIRST woman President.
Dr. Glasser is now officially EKU's 2nd female President, losing her distinction as FIRST woman President at EKU.
