Chris Gordon leaving Allston (sort of)

Chris Gordon, who came to Harvard 4 years ago "ready to build" and became Harvard's most highly paid employee in 2007, resigned today from his position as the Chief Operating Officer for the Allston Development Group.

But in a resolution that strikes me as somewhat ironic, Chris will actually be spending more time in Allston in after he leaves his office in Cambridge's Holyoke Center where he, from a distance, oversaw Harvard's Allston planning and construction. His new job at Harvard will be teaching courses in real estate development at the Harvard Business School, which is located (of course) in Allston.
