A fact from John A. Roush appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 February 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Roush is the current president and has greatly expanded the endowment, and has ambitious plans for the next decade in terms of student enrollment. Has played an integral part with one of the new buildings on campus, as well as the 2000 Vice Presidential Debate to the school (a major part of the college's history). In perspective of all the presidents of the college, he won't be remembered as by far the most significant, but certainly a big player.

I'm not sure these achievements are notable in the encyclopedic sense. It may be more logical to merge this article into the school's article. Unless, of course, there's more to Roush than what's in this article so far.

It could be merged, but I have to say, there are lots of university presidents on here with just a brief sketch. I'll try and pull up some more information on Roush before going any further.

PCN02WPS: 5x expansion checks out, Earwig only returns proper names, article reads well and is well-sourced, hooks are cited and interesting, QPQ done. Prefer ALT1, but both are good to go.

A graduate of Ohio University, Roush earned graduate degrees, and began his career, at Miami University, where he became executive assistant to the president in 1976. Four commas in this sentence feels a bit excessive. I think you could take out the second and third commas and the meaning would still be clear.
He earned a Master of Education degree and a Ph.D. in educational administration, both from Miami University, in 1973 and 1979, respectively No need for a comma before "respectively".
As of 2024, the school still employs the CentreTerm 4-1-4 system. You've used the "CURRENTYEAR" variable in the "as of" tag. Going by
Wikipedia:As of#Precise language, these shouldn't be mixed.
A further curriculum revision came in 2019, when the general education requirements were replaced with a new system which featured the "Doctrina Lux Mentis" sequence, named for the school's motto. What does "sequence" mean in this context? We could do with a translation of the Latin phrase, as well.
Martha Raddatz, who moderated the 2012 debate for ABC, returned to speak at the school's 2013 commencement ceremonies. I think it's fine to mention the debates, as they were major events during Roush's tenure, but this line is getting a bit off topic. It's might be better placed in a general history of the college.
...John C. Young who led the college for 27 years in the nineteenth century, and Thomas A. Spragens, who resigned in 1981. It seems like the length of term for Spragens should be stated, rather than when he left office, as this is a comparison of the longest tenures.
