<p>There’s a bit of irony here, because when folks mention Chicago’s visibility, at least here, they’re really referring to the College, I think.</p>
<p>With regard to Obama, however, his actions will have some impact on the law school and GSB (since he’s doing a bit of recruiting out of there) and perhaps economics in general at Chicago.</p>
<p>And the irony is that these are the parts of UofC that already have high visibility, so the “Obama” impact will be minimal. </p>
<p>Impact on the College? Zilch. Impact on the UofC as a whole? Small, only a bit of halo effect from Law and GSB.</p>
