Old dean, new dean
AT MEDILL THIS MORNING: That’s departing dean John Lavine in the tan coat, and new dean Brad Hamm in the black coat to the right of him.

Good for Brad. I knew him back when he taught at Elon College.
From one overrated school turning out low-wage slaves to another.
So Northwestern is pilfering from Indiana U? Well, who can blame them? IUB is the underrated gem. Northwestern is the overpriced cubic.
Sweet feathery jeebus: “Tuition for the Master of Science in Journalism program is $12,192 per quarter for the 2011-2012 Academic Year (Summer and Fall Quaters 2011 and Winter and Spring Quarters 2012).”
