Case Western Reserve University on Thursday named N. Mohan Reddy dean of its Weatherhead School of Management.

"We are pleased to be able to continue to draw from Mohan Reddy's insight and leadership in continuing to advance the Weatherhead School of Management," said John L.

Who's in charge? What it takes to manage diversity
The Scientist, magazine of the life sciences, November 2006 issue
Ten years ago, a chief diversity officer or vice president of diversity was almost unheard of, but today about one in five Fortune 1000 companies have diversity managers, according to DiversityInc cofounder Luke Visconti. There are no hard or fast qualifications for the job, diversity managers and consultants agree. Most have a background in human resources, says AstraZeneca senior director of diversity Orlando Ceaser. However, Ceaser's own training lies in sales and marketing, Wyeth vice president of diversity Daphne Mobley is a veterinarian and scientist by training, and Case Western Reserve University faculty diversity officer Beth McGee is an associate professor of theater and dance.

Case leader's so-called stress was pure invention
The Plain Dealer, November 3, 2006 (Letter to Editor)
By Gregory L. Eastwood, Case interim president
I write to express my strong concern and embarrassment about the portion of Bill Lubinger's October 23 article "Bust this stress" that had to do with me. In that article, Lubinger said that my stress mess was "Cleaning up after Ed Hundert." Although his disclaimer indicated, "Here's Cleveland's current Best Stressed List and our view on how they cope," many people have written to me or spoken to me, thinking that I was the originator of that comment about Dr. Hundert.
