Administrative resignations and hires became a recurring feature of the 2008-2009 academic year, signaling a substantial turnover of Columbia’s leadership. By September, the University will see fresh faces in many administrative posts. Eight years after becoming president, Lee Bollinger has set himself up to lead an institution run by deans he has appointed—most deans are selected after a search committee presents several finalists to Bollinger. Which remained me on my recruitment as part of several team for Graduate School- which i may say very much complicated process!
After previous hires in the Medical Center, the School of International and Public Affairs, the School of the Arts, the Columbia Journalism School, and others, the selection of this year’s newcomers capped off a series of key appointments. In fact, Bollinger joked in a recent interview, “I think we’ll come to a point here where I will not have any more appointments to make.” But that will only apply once he announces who the new provost will be. We welcome the new provost (whoever is this person going to be!) and many more philanthropies to put in thier endowment in our trust.
