Thursday, Dr. Paul Jones spoke to the media for the first time since taking over five weeks ago.  Dr. Jones says the school has a solid foundation, but there is room for improvement. 

He wants to focus on improving student services and boosting overall efficiency. 

He spoke on rumors of a possible school merger raised by former president Peter Sireno as he was leaving, and said there are no plans to merge Darton with another institution 

"And I think part of what we're trying to do is ensure our campus is focused on those things we have the most control over.  We have a lot of things that we can continue to do to ensure that this institution is doing well.  And those are things we need to focus on," said Dr. Jones.
