Boston University Chooses New President
From Times Wire Reports
Boston University’s board of trustees tapped a top MIT administrator for its president.
Robert Brown, MIT’s provost, will take over for interim BU President Aram Chobanian on Sept. 1, school officials said after the board’s unanimous vote.
Brown, 53, was picked after a search that started last year. Former NASA chief Daniel S. Goldin was chosen in 2003, but withdrew before he was to start.
