Jenny S. Martinez, dean of Stanford Law School and Richard E. Lang Professor of Law, has been named Stanford’s 14th provost, incoming President Richard Saller announced today.

Martinez will assume her new position Oct. 1.

Interesting choice given her recent challenges with freedom of speech and student behavior at the Law School.

Also the sequence of the hiring is questionable. Pick the President and then get a Provost that complements the President's skills. There was a mismatch with MTL/Drell that burned Stanford.  I guess Stanford could not wait for the selection of a new President given the disarray in senior leadership right now.
