(Washington Post) — In the past two years as president of the University of the District of Columbia, Allen Sessoms led a campaign of reform to rival the efforts of his counterpart in the D.C. Public Schools, Michelle Rhee, supporters say. The ouster of Mayor Adrian M. Fenty at the polls in September spelled the end for Rhee, his handpicked schools chancellor. For Sessoms and UDC, it is more like a new beginning. Mayor-elect Vincent C. Graywill enter the executive office as UDC’s champion in chief. He pays regular visits to the university, holds frequent strategy sessions with Sessoms and made the institution’s success a central theme of his campaign.
