If she leaves by June 30, she gets a fifth year at like, Hopkins or Michigan. There's not much NIL money for an Ivy president.

About one post a year makes me wish we had upvotes here. Take it, you bastard.

After her retirement becomes official, 3/8 Ivy presidents will have the "interim" label, and who knows what will happen at Columbia. It's a fun time to be in the pool of candidates at that level.

Maybe this is our chance to increase the Ivy game limit & hockey season start time!

Drop all the Designer Bag idiocy at once, please.  Give athletic scholarships. Allow (guffaw) grad students.

People still think Stanford and Duke have academic integrity (somehow).

There is space between the University of Chicago and Quinnipiac.

I wonder how much the absence of a permanent President enabled AD Nicki Moore to pull off hiring a new men's hockey head coach while still retaining the old one. Under her predecessor, the custom was to promote a low-paid assistant coach, or even a player, to "Interim Head Coach." No doubt, the old practice allowed substantial savings, while the new custom of hiring two head coaches for a year of OJT must be at least twice as expensive.

Excerpted from today's NYT — The Trump administration announced on Friday that it had canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University because of what it described as the school's failure to protect Jewish students from harassment.

The statement said that the cancellations represented the "first round of action" and that additional cancellations were expected to follow. Columbia currently holds more than $5 billion in federal grant commitments, the statement said. ...

The school also faces three federal investigations into allegations of antisemitism on campus that have been announced over the past several weeks.
