What about Judith R. Shapiro? As president of Barnard College, the all-female neighbor of Columbia University, she's used to complicated institutional relationships.
Shapiro says she's supportive of the new Institute, especially its potential to be a leader in gender studies.
But she adds, "I really love being president of Barnard, and I'm fixing to stay here."
The final selection will fall to President Neil L. Rudenstine, who according to the Harvard-Radcliffe merger agreement must consult with a group composed of former Radcliffe trustees and members of Harvard's governing boards.
Former President of the Harvard Board of Overseers Charlotte
P. Armstrong '49 and current Overseer President Joan M. Hutchins '61will join Corporation members Hanna H. Gray and James R. Houghton '58 on the Harvard side of the table.
A'Lelia P. Bundles '74, Pendred E. Noyce '77, Nancy-Beth G. Sheerr '71 and Suzanne Y. Murray '62 will represent Radcliffe's former government.
Over the next months, these eight individuals will be entrusted with the search for a candidate who may determine the future of the Institute.
