Skorton leaving UI for Cornell

Skorton leaving UI for Cornell

Well, this oughta make life in Iowa City interesting in 2006.

Conventional wisdom was that Skorton's big plus was that, after the relatively brief Mary Sue Coleman era, he was seen as a "UI lifer" who'd be around a while. Instead, "his three-year term as president would be the shortest since that of Thomas Huston Macbride, who led the university from 1914 to 1916."
