 * Symbol question.svg All good, except for two point.
 * Good stuff first
 * QPQ met
 * Article is new enough -- created July 11, 2014
 * Exceeds 1500 character minimum: 2093 characters (351 words) "readable prose size"
 * Neutral, cites sources, appears to be free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism
 * Hook correctly formatted, and with 160 displayed characters is within limit.
 * Hook not stunningly interesting -- man had 3 senior posts in education -- but may be a bit unusual, so may interest some
 * Hook is neutral
 * The image in the article is "fair use" rather than free, but since it is not used in the hook, I think that is OK.
 * Now, the problems. Both minor, I hope:
 * The sentence "In 2007, he left the chancellor's office[3]" does appear to be supported by the source. I have verified all the other refs, but that one doesn't reflect the source.
 * The hook facts are all sourced in the body of the article, but some DYK reviewers like them to be sourced if mentioned in the lede. I am ambivalent about that requirement, but it might be a good idea to do it. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:40, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * As to #1, fixed, not sure where I had gotten the year before. Also added a ref to the lede. Aboutmovies (talk) 19:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All outstanding issues resolved, so this is good to go. Thanks to Aboutmovies for responding so quickly to my niggles. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:42, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
