After the Scoop Come the Denials
Mary Sue Coleman, the president of the University of Michigan,
has just denied any interest in the job of Harvard president.
Well...kind of.
Her denial comes through a spokeswoman, who says,
President Coleman is not pursuing the Harvard position. She's committed to staying here at the University of Michigan. The regents just recently renewed her contract.
There's a bit of wiggle room in that, I'd say.
On another note, can someone please institute
a ban on university presidents having spokespeople?
These people are supposed to be
leaders, known for eloquence, candor, the ability to speak intelligently on a variety of topics. Does Harvard really want a president who issues non-denial denials through a spokesperson?
Especially considering that it just had one.....
