From the EagleiOnline at Boston College, the finalists in the BC Law dean search are:
Michele Goodwin, University of Minnesota Everett Fraser Chair in Law; Professor of Medicine, School of Medicine; Professor of Public Health, School of Public Health
Russell Osgood, Grinnell College Professor of History and Political Science
James Repetti, Boston College William J. Kenealy, S.J. Professor of Law; Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
Vincent Rougeau, University of Notre Dame Professor of Law
Robert Schapiro, Emory University Professor of Law; Associate Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
I was a bit interested that someone who was a professor at Grinnell, a very fine school but without a law school, was a finalist, but clicking on his cv I see that Osgood is no ordinary professor of history and political science, but rather the just recent past-president of Grinnell and before that Dean of Cornell law school. That makes it interesting to me that he'd want to go back to being a law school dean, but interesting in a different way than if he was being considered while being a more typical history and political science professor.
That is a very distinguished group. This is going to be a very difficult choice.
