Rutgers president teaches ‘civil discourse’ class after toxic politics drives him from office

When Jonathan Holloway announced in September that he was stepping down as president of Rutgers University, he said he had one big thing left on his to-do list: work related to “civic preparedness and civil discourse.”
It is a personal topic for Holloway. He said he based his decision to leave the top job at Rutgers after only five years partly on the lack of civility he experienced during his time as head of New Jersey’s state university.
