BOSTON – For Becky Guerra, committing to build a new school in the inner city meant moving there, too. So she and her husband, Frank, then a teacher at Roxbury Latin, upped stakes and moved to Jamaica Plain from their home of 15 years in Arlington.
"I didn't want to be coming into the city from the suburbs," Becky said about their decision back in 2000. "Didn't feel right – didn't sit right to go try to build a school that serves people from the city and we're going home to the suburbs every night."
BOSTON — The University of Massachusetts might be going places, but Marty Meehan, the former congressman from Lowell who will be sworn in Thursday as the University's 27th president, is staying put.
"You can't have transformational change in just two or three years," Meehan said in an interview last month at the University's Franklin Street offices. "This job requires a 10-year commitment."
