Stanford certainly needs a reboot across the board from what I've read and heard.  Find the best woman or man to do that regardless of affiliation. Probably needs to be from academia at a Provost level or higher, but I would really open this up. Calfan wouldn't be bad....he/she/they get(s) it.  Mick, any interest?

Nope, my current job is thankless enough... ;)

Reading about the individual preferences for specific attributes has been interesting. I'd hate to have to satisfy the conflicting needs and desires at the Greatest University in the World...at least that's how I've always thought about Stanford. I've had many family members go through Stanford, from the 1930s through the 21st century, and I've worked with hundreds of alums and dozens of students over the years...generally speaking, all excellent people with very few exceptions. It's a big job with big requirements. Hope they find the right person, preferably one who understands that Top 10 ratings in every pursuit are critically important...

Very well said.
