NU Pres Bienen answers page?

Many of us probably thought the recent scandal with the dean would (or should) go away. But it hasn't. Some people have wondered on this listserv about the legitimacy of the investigation of the dean's quotes that use anonymous sources because the panel of investigators did not say that they questioned any of the students from the class the dean cited. The Chicago Tribune published an editorial on March 8th addressing this very issue and asking why NU President Bienen has not stepped in to resolve the situation at Medill. It's entitled "Paging President Bienen," and the final question is: "When will Northwestern President Henry Bienen cut through campus protocol and politesse, and tell his subordinates this unnecessary episode is embarrassing his university?"

On Tuesday a team of reporters from North by Northwestern wrote an article on-the-record denials by the students in that class that they talked with Lavine. http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/2008/03/7824/lavine-quotes/

I heard from a reliable source that NU President Bienen and Provost Linzer will meet with the faculty today. Apparently the page is being answered.
