Wallace L. Hall Jr.
As public skepticism of college leaders and professors builds, trustees have been encouraged over the last year to ask tougher questions about campus operations. But few college board members have tested the limits of their authority as much as Wallace L. Hall Jr.
Mr. Hall, 52, a member of the University of Texas system’s Board of Regents, has conducted exhaustive investigations of the flagship campus, exposing what he describes as sweetheart deals for administrators and shady admissions practices that favor politically connected applicants. His persistence is applauded in some quarters, but critics have accused Mr. Hall of conducting an ideologically motivated witch hunt that centers on a desire to see William C. Powers Jr. removed as president of the Austin campus.
