Job Opening: Hampshire College is Looking for a President.

Some news you can use from Daily Ructions. The Pioneer Valley’s Hampshire College has begun to search for a new president. Hampshire has been having a bit of a hard time lately. Declining to fly the American flag late last year earned the school some intense and unhappy attention.

It’s looking for a conciliator and someone with “strong financial management experience and skills.”

Reminding us of the complexity of the liberal arts, the search committee promises both transparency and confidentiality. “We are committed to being fully transparent in the process of conducting the search, and at the same time we will maintain absolute confidentiality about all candidates until disclosure is appropriate and individual permission has been given,” according to its website.
