2/ Assuming I have this right, we are currently betting close to *100%* of our top US Research Universities & Institutes on boomer leaders born over a decade & a half between 1946-61. Keep in mind, the oldest GenX folks are already early/mid 50s. None of them made it?? None???

3/ Before you tell me that University Presidents & Chancellors are always the age of the Boomers now...No. Just no. Start with William Bowen at Princeton (39) or Sheldon Hackney at UPenn (late 40s) (Or Martin Meyerson..). This is quite different. This is *zero* age diversity.
