I knew Nancy when I was in law school at Ohio State. She was not the dean then, but was associate dean for academic affairs.

She is competent and, most importantly for the democrats (of which I am one), she is squeaky-clean.

I’m not sure how they made their choice, but we can be sure that they wanted someone completely qualified for the job as a lawyer AND as a manager – something Dann admitted he wasn’t ready to handle.

Also- an appointment that doesn’t come across as being overtly political.

It sounds like they hit all of those targets with the selection of Ms. Rogers.

It appears that she has little real world law experience. I wish we could have had Subodh Chandra slide in or Richard Cordray slide over.

I have heard she is not running. Do we have any idea who is? Maybe Marc Dann will run as an independent. Heh!

Good choice. It appears – for now at least – that her position as Dean will be filled on an interim basis allowing the possibility for her to return to Ohio State next year.

Unless she decides to run in the election, of course.
