U. of Oxford Chooses New Leader

Andrew Hamilton, provost of Yale University, has been nominated as the new vice chancellor of the University of Oxford, according to a report on The Chronicle’s News Blog.

The appointment is the second time in recent years that a major British university has turned to Yale to fill a top leadership post. In 2003 the University of Cambridge hired Alison F. Richard, Yale’s provost at the time, as vice chancellor.
