Jenny Martinez has very good credentials in the legal field. She must have administrative experience in her role as Dean of the Law School. So she looks like a reasonable hire as Provost.

I wonder how Martinez feels about college sports. I believe the Athletic Director reports to the Provost, so she will have a significant role in the sports program.

Does anyone know her? 

It's interesting the Stanford's incoming interim president, Richard Saller, announced this hire even though he doesn't officially assume the presidency until Sept 1. And it's interesting that the press release refers to Saller as incoming President, not incoming Interim President. Apparently Saller is already acting as the President. I wonder whether that means he is taking the lead on Stanford's conference alignment issue.

Excellent questions Terry.
