the point was not whether you were right or not, the point is that your comment was unseemly

Well, I turned out to be right, right? He withdrew from the race.

oh good grief, what's with the pro-Tharoor sycophancy?

I find it unlikely that someone of Shashi Tharoor's stature would accept a mere deanship when he could be a Cabinet Minister in India. My bet is that he was approached and didn't want to say no, but will either pull out of the race soon enough or turn down the position if offered. Of course, if the Presidency of Harvard were still available, that would be a different matter...

don't be a hater please anyway, 3 of the candidates HAVE Phds, not 2. and the fourth has a mba and is a successful media exec. willow bay does seem a bit of an odd one out.

I just find it fascinating(ly pathetic) that three of the candidates don't have PhDs. Apparently, Annenberg has much lower standards than most schools and colleges within USC, let alone American universities as a whole.
