If only the fifth-tier urban planner wasn't also the dean of the (feloniously named) college...

2.

maybe it was Ohio State University

and maybe it was Aaron Betsky

and maybe it was reverse psychology so the word would get out that someone of Betsky's stature was dissed and all the other up-n-comers would get in line during the second round for a little self-flagellation and backstabbing of their contemporaries in a feeding frenzy of curicullum vitaes

but that's a big maybe

Phyllis Lambert--she's a carpet muncher, right?

4.

betsky wasn't at the top of the list.

5.

well, Washinton Univ is also on the dean-hunt...
maybe it was them? I'm guessing, and have no more info about it, but hope someone else does... (and that they share).

i thought the word "dike" in this context meant "earthen wall" of the dutch variety, not lesbian or "carpet muncher" as the admonisher put it.

i dont think it was washu. they paraded everyone through who was a candidate, and he certainly wasn't one of them. we announced another guy a couple of weeks ago in any case.

my guess would be cincinnati, since he is curating or whatever there now.
