When the Dean Search Committee was first announced last month, PrezBo set the projected deadline as the end of the academic year—a.k.a. today.  But, according to CCSC President and newest member of the search party Karishma Habbu, a permanent Columbia College Dean won’t be chosen until the end of May, at the earliest. A detailed outline of what’s been accomplished so far, and what remains on the to-do list can be found after the jump.

The so-far highlights include an explanation from PrezBo of “the upcoming structural changes to the Arts and Sciences,” a discussion of feedback from the town hall, and scrutiny of the nominations list. According to Habbu, the committee has narrowed the candidates down to four.  They’ve also spoken with Nicholas Dirks, EVP of Arts and Sciences, and Dean of GSAS Carlos Alfonso about the relationship the future CC Dean will have with GSAS.

Up next, the search committee will interview and evaluate the four Dean-prospies, “debrief” (we can only hope it involves snack giveaways), and announce their decision.

See what’s already happened, and what remains to be seen after the jump.
