...Akin to the selection processes for the dean of the College and the dean of the Faculty, the University president, who sits atop the entire structure, is not chosen by members of the University.

Mitt Romney, who received a joint degree from the Business and Law schools in 1975, has criticized his alma mater’s support of stem cell research and repeatedly chided the University’s decision a year ago to host former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, including in a radio ad released just last month.
