Last week, Spectator sat down with Columbia College Interim Dean James Valentini. Find out what Deantini had to say about the possibility of meeting President Barack Obama, the departure of former CC dean Michele Moody-Adams, and his new Facebook account:
- Shortly after being appointed interim dean in September, Valentini told Spectator that he planned to talk to Moody-Adams to find out why she resigned so abruptly. But eight months have gone by, and Valentini says he hasn't spoken to Moody-Adams since she resigned. He couldn't explain why, but he noted that "legal is the operative word":
“If you wanted to pursue that, whether people have spoken to one another, why or why not, I’d have to send you to the president’s office. These things are decided, as they say, at a level above my pay-grade … On things like that, I’m told what I’m expected to do, and rightly so."
