MURFREESBORO — To kick off Constitution Week, Dr. John Vile, constitutional scholar and dean of the University Honors College, will discuss his new book, “The Writing and Ratification of the U.S. Constitution,” on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 18, and 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 24.

 

Vile, a former chair of the Department of Political Science, is the author of numerous scholarly and publicly accessible volumes about the constitution and the founding fathers.
