He would be a disaster as Stanford president, though I highly doubt he would ever be considered.
Right -- I had Thiel under "Disruptive Appointments". Full alum (two degrees), and hey, $BILLIONS.
My first boss had a partner -- one of twelve -- who was a general crank. He used to tell me it was important to have one crank in the room -- but never two. And you never put the crank in charge of anything.

That was my speculation. And no, it didn't come out on a Friday, and it wasn't a whitewash. But it was terse, and there was no contact person (which discourages further interaction by the press). I doubt Ms. Lam will be made available for interviews or e-mailed questions. And given her background, one wouldn't expect it.
