Gross Loss
That was fast: Dick Gross is out of a job.
Here's part of a press release by FAS spokesperson Richard Mitchell:
Harvard College Dean Benedict H. Gross announced today that he will conclude his service as dean on Aug. 31, 2007. In making the announcement, Gross said that, with the conclusion of the legislative process of the curricular review, the time seems appropriate to move on to other projects.
Anyone else surprised by the speed with which Drew Faust made this move? Or did Derek Bok do it, just as he effected calendar reform on his own? Anyone think it's a bad move? And finally...who's the next dean of Harvard College?
