Nicholas Dirks suddenly resigned as executive vice president for Arts and Sciences last month to become chancellor of UC Berkeley, paving the way for the search committee process we've all come to know and love. Now, that time has come.
University President Lee Bollinger just announced the 15-member committee that will recommend candidates to replace Dirks, and it's a diverse group: 10 professors, a dean, two alumni, a graduate student, and an undergraduate student (Daphne Chen, CC '14 and Columbia College Student Council vice president of finance). The committee's chair is international affairs professor Robert Jervis.
Bollinger said that he wants to choose a new A&S EVP by the end of the academic year. For the full list of committee members, look after the jump.
