Hallelujah. I'm really hopeful with him and Drell both out the door, our once proud university can turn the corner on a few years of extremely poor leadership.

Hmm. Who might be next??

Rather than who might be next... WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA? 
A)  No "Interlopers" -- must be a Stanford Alum or Faculty.  Someone familiar with "Stanford Experience" we knew
-- Free exchange of ideas, plenty of active involvement with great peers, Spring rush in the sunshine.  Mind-expanding thoughts.
1)  Other notable presidents.  Examples:  
President at Duke:  Dr. Vincent Price, MA 85 / PhD 87 from Stanford in Communications.  Currently serving 
President at Temple:  Jason Wingard, BA '92, served as a WR on Walsh's '92 Team (Pac-10 champs).  Anybody know him?
M.Ed from Harvard, PhD from Penn State in Ed-Culture & Society (what is that?).  Could do TV/Media rights during first week. 
Maybe John Bravman, President at Bucknell.  A STEM Ed guy. 
2)  Noble Laureates?  This guy:  Carl Wieman in Physics and Education, now on faculty.  Obama Science Advisor at White House.

Wieman is my current favorite candidate because of devotion to STEM education, with the Nobel in pocket. On faculty now.  

B)  Disruptive Appointments to shake it up... like the Stanford Band.
1)  John Doerr.  He gave $1.1 billion.  Let him run it for two years, while we look further.  
2)  Peter Thiel, BA 1989 / JD 1992 -- first Editor of Stanford Review in 1985.  Worth >$9BIL.  White male, Gay.  Check that box.
Would be hated by "tut, tut" faculty crowd; shake it up.  Trustees would be uncomfortable, but hey, $BILLIONS.  Irrevent, Plus.
3)  Elon Musk -- won't happen.  So what.  Iconoclastic pick would be in keeping with Stanford Band tradition.  

C)  Other more traditional picks:

another name mentioned in my class Facebook group is current Harvard Provost Alan Garber

Kaiser Jr. Professor and a Professor of Medicine, as well as a Professor of Economics, Health Research and Policy, and Economics in the Graduate School of Business (by courtesy) at Stanford University.
