In wake of Rutgers controversy, Hance writes to Rice, asking her to speak at Texas Tech
Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance sent a letter to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday asking her to speak at future Tech graduation ceremonies.

As a distinguished diplomat and great leader, you would be an outstanding individual to speak at one of our upcoming graduation ceremonies, Hance wrote. Texas Tech is a university of ideas, and our commencement ceremonies have featured speakers from various political parties and with a wide range of professional backgrounds from all over the world.
Hance provided Rice with dates of future commencement ceremonies, excluding the upcoming ceremonies on May 16-17. The dates are:
■ Aug. 9
■ Dec. 12-13
■ May 15-16, 2015
I think that we have a good chance, and I think shed be well received at Texas Tech, Hance told A-J Media. I think that our students are more conservative. I think theyve got good common sense. I dont think there would be a lot of protest against someone who served as secretary of state.
