The University of Oxford? Sounds like a reasonable next step for the Provost of the University of Yale, right?

It IS the University of Oxford, not Oxford University. Oxford is a city. Yale is not.

Amazing! This means both Oxford and Cambridge will be headed by former Yale Provosts at the same time. Alison Fettes Richard is the current Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (the Chancellor position is honorary and held by a member of the royal family). She is the first female Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge since the post became executive rather than just ceremonial. Richard was an undergraduate at Newnham College, Cambridge, and went on to eventually serve as Provost of Yale from 1994 to 2002. She became Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge in 2003, and remains in that post to this day.

A great guy and a fantastic provost. I don't blame him for taking advantage of a tremendous opportunity, but Yale will certainly miss him -- even those who don't know what the hell a provost does.

Congratulations Andy.

You will be the best Vice Chancellor.

Keep Smiling.

This appointment will benefit both Oxford and Yale

What ever happened to no one knowing about Andrew Hamilton? http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/23107

Its nice to congratulate someone that the Yaledailynews apparently believes no one on campus knows or cares about. Way to be consistent.

#7,

Oxford is looking for a shadowy overlord. Power unseen cannot be subverted.

"Its nice to congratulate someone that the Yaledailynews apparently believes no one on campus knows or cares about. Way to be consistent."

That doesn't make much sense. If anyone on the Yale community is appointed to lead Oxford, of course that person would deserve congratulations in the Yale Daily News. Even if that person were some random administrator that no one knows (I am not saying that this is the case with Hamilton, just that the comment above was especially silly).
