Leadership is important in any endeavor, and at ECU we have had a spotty record in athletics. We have had some very good ADs and some that were not that good.

I came to ECU in 1961 and our leader in everything was Leo Jenkins, and even though he was the chancellor he also lead us in athletics.…

The North Carolina State Board of Elections, a bipartisan independent agency charged with overseeing North Carolina elections, compiled a post-election audit report (April 21, 2017) from the general election 2016 after examining nearly 4.8 million ballots cast and found two cases of voter…

Awash in virtual ink and bitterly clinging to resentment from last autumn, Calvin Mercer continues to publish passive-aggressive missives railing against Greenville’s elected leadership. Appended to his most recent correspondence, a rehashed Daily Reflector letter addressing the “highly…

The Orange County Register got it right, and thank you Daily Reflector for including it in your Other Voices column.

In this season of hope, love and renewal, someone representing us, America The Beautiful, tear-gassed a pregnant woman and her children at our border. Others were gassed too.
