他们是怎么招院长的2

今天收到L的信，L是OS的助理，她转发了院长候选人火拼的一周安排。而Mark说，Dean Search的Committee完全是外部的，由教务长聘请，共七人，我还不知道committee都有谁，但是从下面来看，chair是信息学院的院长，还是对媒体比较在行的。

另外，OS本人是在Committee之外，这让我有些意外。因为毕竟OS在J干了10年之久，对于自己的下一任怎么说也不能没有发言权吧。但也许是独立于Committee之外的发言权。

果然，不出意外，Committee中包括J-School的一名学生。今天在Arthur的演讲中碰到这位Committee中的学生代表C。她非常自信，“我的职责就是代表学生，把学生的意见反馈给committee，当然我也有一票的权利”。

我问她是怎么选出来的，她说她也不知道怎么选上的。但是我觉得她还是不错的代表，很认真的组织了一个学生团队，分工听4个人的全程，记录，发给学生们(每个年级都有自己的maillist server)，收集意见，讨论等等，我看到了他们定的安排，细到每一场谁来买pizza给前来参加的人。
