Apologies for the dearth of posting. Between a crazy work schedule and some technical difficulties, MetaEzra has unfortunately been neglected. But not to worry, more news and analysis is in the works, including an exciting holiday contest! I'll also note that it's good to see that the Sun is still doing some reporting over the break. This means that we're not your only source for independent news and analysis when classes aren't in session. After we noticed last week (in the sidebar) that Cornell Provost Biddy Martin was one of 30 finalists to fill Harvard's vacant presidency, The Sun has since reported on the development including a nice quote from Biddy herself. They also report from "sources close to The Sun" that "Martin is looking to take on a larger role elsewhere. This should be of no surprise, of course. The position of provost has also long been a stepping-stone to fundraiser-in-chief becoming a university president. Cornell's last provost, Don Randel went on to become President of the University of Chicago, before assuming the presidency of the Mellon Foundation.
