Dean From Northwestern Picked to Lead New School
August 27, 2010
The trustees of the New School, an eclectic university in downtown Manhattan, selected David E. Van Zandt, dean of the Northwestern Law School, on Thursday to be its eighth president. Dr. Van Zandt, 57, will replace Bob Kerrey, a former Nebraska senator and presidential candidate. The contrasts between the two leaders are immediately apparent. Dr. Van Zandt is an academic, not a politician, and has a reputation for driving change through low-key, data-driven discussion and consensus. Mr. Kerrey is the first to admit he loves controversy and welcomes passionate debate.
