Comment: As a university president, Pryor probably meets our standards of WP:N, however, the article - in its current form - appears to be the cover letter to a resume as opposed to an encyclopedia article. I think if this can be rectified it could be approved post haste! Chetsford (talk) 05:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
