Asking tough questions is part of the job

Reporter Amy Hawley caught up with KU AD Lew Perkins today and asked a very pertinent question about his job security.  Mr. Perkins didn't appreciate the interuption of his golf game, apparently:

Incredibly, a reporter from WDAF, Al Wallace, was also there, recorded the whole thing and presented it as a "confrontation."  We were all amused when during the 6pm news, anchor Phil Witt appeared to congratulate our reporter for her tenacity.

Amy did her job.  Can't say the same thing for Al.

Wow, great reporting. Amy asked the right questions and that handles it extremely well when he tried to turn on her. She didn't lose her cool, calmy expanded on her questions despite his attempts to make her ask questions. What a pro; must be your coaching Peggy.
