The following article appeared in Inside Higher Ed:

It reports the imminent appointment of Yudof as President of the University of California. It is worth noting in the article that there is an unattributed, possibly apocryphal, comment regarding the process that was used to arrive at this choice for our new president. There appears to be, on the face of it at least, a passing similarity to the process that we have seen on our own campus.
