Chicago's Dean Mike Schill to become next President of U of Oregon
It breaks my heart to have to post this, since Mike Schill has been a terrific Dean here the last 5 1/2 years, but we all knew he was in demand elsewhere: he will be the new President of the University of Oregon, come July 1. Oregon is damn lucky, and I know I speak for everyone at Chicago in saying that Mike Schill will be greatly missed here.
