ON HER WAY: After a two-year search, UC Irvine has finally settled on a new chief for affirmative action, equal opportunity, and diversity programs. She’s Marion Metivier-Redd, who has held a similar position at the University of Vermont the past three years. . . . “She met the most exacting standards of our search committee,” says Spencer Olin, UCI dean of humanities. Several minority groups, most recently Asian-American students and instructors, have said they want more attention to diversity issues on campus.
