<p>According to UChicago news</p>
<p>[Eric</a> D. Isaacs appointed provost of University of Chicago | UChicago News](<a href=“Eric D. Isaacs appointed provost of University of Chicago”>Eric D. Isaacs appointed provost of University of Chicago)</p>
<p>a new provost has been appointed to replace Thomas Rosenbaum who is leaving for CalTech.</p>
<p>I have only listened Eric Isaacs’ talk during last Spring’s admit student weekend. No direct talking to Thomas Rosenbaum either, though watched his “Aims of education” webcast this fall.</p>
<p>Provost position is very important IMO. Has anyone had personal contacts with either of them? Any thoughts regarding the personnel change at the top of UChicago?</p>
