<p>I think highly of Biddy Martin, but I wouldn’t overestimate her ability to change a culture that has existed for decades. She hasn’t been there that long, and we don’t know what institutional priorities the college’s governing board has set. She may also have learned a lesson about trying to do too much too quickly during her time at UW–even if she was trying to do the “right” thing. She made a lot of enemies by thinking and acting independently in the short time she was there.</p>
