Students at Kennesaw State University are planning a rally today to oppose the appointment of Sam Olens, Georgia's attorney general, as the university's next president. A petition is also gathering support. Olens hasn't even been officially nominated for the job, let alone approved by the state's Board of Regents. But reports have been circulating for months -- causing alarm among both students and faculty members at Kennesaw State, an institution of 33,000 located outside Atlanta and the third largest university in Georgia. In the last 10 days, the reports have shifted from Olens being seriously under consideration to that he has become the sole candidate in contention.
