<p>With Dean Van Zandt leaving for the New School, will Northwestern rely less on its stringent admissions policy that more or less requires previous work experience? Thoughts?</p>

<p>I say, probably not, because they will likely hire from within.</p>

<p>^ OP’s not talking about how they’ll pick the new dean, rather, whether N will change its preferences toward LS applicants.</p>

<p>I think Patriot’s answer still makes sense. They’ll probably promote from within, and anybody within is likely to share Van Zandt’s philosophy.</p>

<p>KWU, I guess I thought my post was more clear then it actually was. Anyways I meant they will probably hire the new dean from within. Someone who was likely committed to Van Zandt’s way of doing things and therefore will not really change their admissions policy.</p>
