New UConn President Susan Herbst has taken on the job with big plans for the state’s flagship university.

When we spoke with Herbst months ago, just before her appointment had become official, we talked at length about athletics at the school - a point of statewide pride, but also national controversy over graduation rates and compliance issues in the men’s Basketball program.

Now, athletic directorJeff Hathaway is out - we’ll talk about that change, new plans for the UConn Health Center, and budget tightening that’s happening across the board in state government.

We’ll also hear about how UConn’s preparing for Hurricane Irene - on the weekend when students move in.

What questions do you have for UConn President Susan Herbst?
