There's an interesting game afoot where thirteen university presidents have accepted a combined $68 million over the past two months, with the stipulation that they cannot go looking for the donor(s) and that the majority of the money go towards scholarships for women and minorities. (Put aside, for the moment, the ethics of just such a scholarship, especially for women when they currently outnumber men in college.)
What do the thirteen colleges and universities have in common? They are all led by women.
As such, some bloggers have been asking what college might be next and given that more than one criteria are shared by Claremont McKenna -- obscurity, more likely private than public, led by women, existence of other minority/women scholarships -- it would seem to me that Claremont McKenna is a natural choice.
I love mysteries. Here's to hoping this one gets uncovered sooner, rather than later.
