Columbia President Suspends Search for New Dean of Journalism School
(From the N.Y. Times)
The search for a new dean to lead Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism was abruptly suspended yesterday by the university's new president. He said the school, long regarded as a leader in its field, needed to rethink its mission and curriculum and place less emphasis on teaching skills like reporting and editing.

Huh.
