Here are some tasks you can do:
- Verify: Add Kluemper, Tony. "Clough pushes undergrad learning initiatives", The Technique, 2000-10-20. Retrieved on 2007-03-17. ; Shaw, Jody. "Clough presents vision for new year", The Technique, 2001-10-12. Retrieved on 2007-03-17. ; Shaw, Jody. "State of the Institute from one student’s perspective", The Technique, 2002-10-11. Retrieved on 2007-03-17.
- Expand: Entire article; article does not cover his accomplishments in the posts he has held, and feels "rushed"

[edit] Expansion
The part of his biography about his time at Tech states the following:
| “ |
During his tenure as president, Georgia Tech served as the Olympic Village for the 1996 Centennial Olympics. Research expenditures have increased from $212 million to $425 million, a required computer initiative for all students was implemented, and enrollment has increased from 13,000 to 17,000. Over $1 billion in private gifts have been obtained. A state-wide Georgia Tech regional engineering program has been implemented. An ambitious building program of over $900 million has been completed with another $300 million in planning or design. In 1999, Georgia Tech received the Hesburgh Award, the nation's top recognition for support of undergraduate teaching and learning; and in 2003 it was ranked among the top ten public universities by U.S. News and World Report. In 2001 and 2002, Black Issues in Higher Education cited Georgia Tech as the only university to graduate the largest number of African-American engineers at all three levels: Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. |

From that, we can determine the following facts:
- Georgia Tech was the Olympic Village for the 1996 Summer Olympics.
- Research expenditures have increased from $212 million to $425 million
- Computers are now required for all students
- Enrollment has increased from 13,000 to 17,000
- Over $900 has been spent on expanding or improving the campus
- Tech received the "Hesburgh Award"
- Tech's U.S. News and World Report ranking went up
- Tech graduates a lot of minority engineers
Most of those are verifyable, which is good, but this biography isn't all that recent. I bet those research, building expenditure, and enrollment numbers are all out of date. I'd expect Clough's bio to include something about the "International Plan" and the "Research Plan," too. What else should we include? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 03:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

- That information has been added, but the article is still too short. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
