How many students do they advise? And is the focus only on Marshall, Rhodes, Gates, and other elite scholarships/fellowships?
Perhaps Dean Malkiel should consider retirement--she's been in that position for what, 30 years? Intellectual ossification does set in. Ditto a tin ear for what students truly need, as opposed to what sells in a viewbook or a trustee report.
If Kanach is ultimately in charge of these fellowships, it is inevitable that the number of Princeton students will soon reach an all-time low. She is not only unqualified for the position she has been in for too long, but she is disagreeable and ultimately fails at her job which is to send students abroad (only ~13% of students study abroad during the academic year, however the OIP flaunts a 40% statistic which includes students who do even 3 week programs in europe. If she had it her way, she would include any student who has vacationed or even thought about vacationing in Europe too!)
Dean Malkiel, Dean Kanach, and I am starting to believe President Tilghman should step down from their positions. As a whole, they are ineffective at giving the student body truly what they need instead of focusing solely on how the University 'looks.' The board of trustees needs to step in and make some changes immediately.
*If Kanach is ultimately in charge of these fellowships, it is inevitable that the number of Princeton students receiving these scholarships will soon reach an all-time low.
@worried
I hear you. If any of us used statistics the way Malkiel and Kanach do we'd be brought up on charges of violating academic integrity. This place is going to hell.
geez. Better go to Yale, guys.
haha very nice Dean Malkiel....
