State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today released a statement about the impending retirement of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo President Warren J. Baker:

           "Under President Baker's remarkable and visionary leadership over the past 30 years, Cal Poly has made great strides toward becoming one of the best public universities in the nation," said O'Connell. "Warren will be surely missed, but not forgotten.
