The Bollinger Bio Faculty excited about Bollinger's return to 'U' Under the University's 12th president, faculty members are hoping to gain a louder voice and more muscle in adminstrative decisions. A former dean of the University's Law School, Bollinger will leave his current post as provost at Dartmouth College to return to Ann Arbor in a new light. Other 3 candidates face futures away from 'U' After conducting the most public search in the University's 179-year history, the Board of Regents chose the finalist with the most intimate knowledge of the University. And the candidate whom the regents know the best. While former Law School Dean Lee Bollinger will return to Ann Arbor, the other three finalists will stay at their home institutions.

Bollinger was a respected dean in the Law School, so he has the advantage of knowing the students, faculty and the campus. While the University will welcome back a familiar face to campus in President-select Lee Bollinger, students and faculty at Dartmouth College say they are losing one of their most prized professors and administrators. Lee Bollinger is an outstanding academic leader and will be one of the most distinguished university presidents in the country.
