You remember Richard Rodner, don't you, dear reader? He's the PR flack that censored and sanitized Bassam Frangieh's Wikipedia page. Today, he was probably let go or possibly fired. (It doesn't say he's retiring or going to a new company, so that's what I'm left to speculate.)
Anyways, I'm very pleased and I hope you are, too. He mismanaged CMC's PR for far too long.
Here's to hoping for a speedy transition.
Oh, and thanks for the help with the story that won me the Breindel award.

Memorandum
Date: June 17, 2011
To: CMC Faculty & Staff
From: Ernie Iseminger, VP of Development & External Relations
This is to announce that Richard Rodner, Associate Vice President for Public Affairs and Communications will be leaving CMC at the end of June. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Richard for his leadership of our Office of Public Affairs and Communications, and for his dedication to the college.
Initiatives launched under his leadership include CMC’s new visual identity, the newly launched CMC Web site, CMCIQ, the new CUC collaborative satellite uplink broadcast studio, and the new look and editorial style of the award-winning CMC Magazine which continues to strengthen alumni, parent, and community engagement with our campus. Through these and other efforts, Richard helped to increase the visibility of our campus, promote the accomplishments and contributions of our faculty, students, staff, and alumni and enhance Claremont McKenna College’s image and stature.
We are grateful for Richard's contributions to our campus over the past two and half years. We wish him and his wife, Marcy, the very best in all that lies ahead.
