...surprise reversal, Venkatesh “Venky” Narayanamurti, the current dean of DEAS, said he would nix his plans to step down next month and remain on staff to guide the school through its transition. If approved by FAS, the new school will put Harvard on equal footing with institutions that house autonomous engineering schools and boast larger faculties. “It will allow us to continue to attract the kind of faculty and students we want at a time when all major engineering schools in the country are expanding their programs,” Venky...

Only then would highly qualified applicants without the right connections be able to compete fairly with their dean- and SAB-recommended peers. Deans only know a handful of students very well, so even recommendations from resident deans, much less recommendations from students on SAB, should...
