From dean to dean

The campus is teeming with questions after Michele Moody-Adams’ resignation as dean of Columbia College and the recent appointment of James Valentini. Kenny Durell speaks of how Valentini might be a good sign for Columbia’s future, Professor Alheli Alvarado-Diaz discusses the need for unity at Columbia, and Alan Seltzer argues that President Bollinger made the right choice in asking Moody-Adams to step down. Rae Binstock claims that Dean Moody-Adams’ resignation will have little importance for our overall college experiences. The Editorial Board pronounces Valentini well-intentioned but uncertain about key issues.
