The Government Department has taken some recruiting initiatives. In an interview last fall, then-Department Chair Robert Putnam said the department had been working "damn hard" to attract minority graduate students by travelling around the country to reach talented seniors.
Unfortunately, not all other departments pursue similar measures. "We don't recruit anybody. We have no recruiting budget," said Economics Department Chair John F. Kain.
A U.S. State Department spokespersons in Washington said Gregg and his wife were not injured in the attack.
"The new chair will strengthen the department," said Professor of Chinese History and Philosophy Wei-Ming Tu, explaining that "countries of the Pacific rim are gaining greater importance in world affairs."
Government Department Chair Robert O. Keohane said that candidates for the chair will be judged primarily on the basis of their expertise in political science overall, rather than specialized work in a particular area of Chinese Studies.
