  Andrei Shleifer: He's Back!
Well, almost. The Crimson reports that Andrei Shleifer, Harvard's $30-million man, will be teaching in the econ department this fall.

In other news, the business school has awarded tenure to Ken Lay, Jack Abramoff is the new dean of the Kennedy School, and the law school has given Zacaria Moussaoui a three-year scholarship, providing he is not executed before September.
 
Comments:
In all seriousness, Summers did announce the appointment of Jay Light as the new (permanent it seems) business school dean this afternoon. He had been the interim dean this year. Not sure how popular this will be with students, since it was this administration that instituted a new, tougher grading system - after solliciting feedback from students and getting 95% opposed, as well as apparently not informing most of the faculty about the policy beforehand.
 
Interesting. What do folks think about Summers appointing deans on his way out the door?
 
I never thought I say it, but sometimes I wonder about Harvard.
