Short list emerges for top job at Harvard

Short list emerges for top job at Harvard - The Boston Globe: "Albert W. Merck, a prominent alumnus and donor, said it will take someone with extensive administrative experience to execute the university's ambitious agenda, which includes expanding into Allston and improving the undergraduate experience and quality of teaching."

I think it is interesting that Harvard's Allston expansion is viewed as so important to Harvard that it may be shaping the selection of Harvard's next president.
