Oglethorpe University President Lawrence Schall made a confession July 29 in The Washington Post: He has been moonlighting this summer as an Uber driver.
Schall, who is Jewish, said his goal was to get a glimpse into the sharing economy, but instead he got to see the inadequacies of public transit in Atlanta: Most of his fares have been to or from MARTA.
In limited driving time, he earned less than $100 during his first three weeks on the job, all of which he is donating to Oglethorpe’s scholarship fund. His first passenger was an Oglethorpe student.
