Cochran, president from 1992 to 2000, will make a variety of appearances during a seven-day promotional tour in the Youngstown area this week. Among the campus events will be a book-signing at the YSU Bookstore from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday and a faculty and staff gathering at 4 p.m. the same day in the Bresnahan Suites in Kilcawley Center.
Per Cochran’s website, “Signature Affair” exposes the underbelly of academic life on a Midwestern college campus — the politics, sex and backroom machinations.
A sex-driven university president, Steve Schilling, takes the university to new heights. Everything is coming up roses.
He’s loved and respected by all. Behind this image is a troubled man unaware of his personal issues. He maintains five affairs loving each woman equally, treating her as if she’s the only one, exceeding her expectations in every way
Steve’s wife discovers his philandering ways. A young reporter takes a series of enterprising actions to undercover the truth. His world collapses and Steve struggles to save his career.
