[quote=Anonymous]"THE PRESIDENT OF YALE - WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT" ranting is misleading and irrelevant in Whittle's ambition to unseat Exeter, Sidwell, and the "elites" it sees as revenue competition. The person in question, Benno Schmidt Jr. age 76, was the president of Yale from 1988-1992 with mixed results. He and Whittle started Edison, then Avenues and he's been board chair at CUNY during reform efforts. To my knowledge, he does not speak Mandarin, is not a teacher, and has no experience with schools in Washington, DC or foreign affairs circles here. I fail to see what additional value, financial or educational, he brings other than marketing to people who are easily impressed by the word Yale. Does anyone have anything useful to add about Whittle's recruitment and activities in China? Any names to drop from this century? (I would ask about Sao Paulo, but I assume they don't face as much competition as here in DMV.) [/quote]
