Asked about what the loss of Holdren would mean for the Kennedy School, Lee said that when a faculty member is named the chief science adviser in the United States, it is hard to see it as a loss.
Holdren currently directs the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and holds a joint appointment at the Kennedy School and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He has also run the Woods Hole Research Center for the past...
Holdren could not be reached for comment, but in a statement released by the Kennedy School, he said the opportunity to work with President-elect Obama and his team was "the greatest opportunity—and the greatest responsibility—of my professional life."
Henry Lee '68, director of the Kennedy School's Environment and Natural Resources Program, who was scheduled to co-teach a Kennedy School course on energy policy with Holdren this spring, said he was not surprised Holdren was chosen for such an important position.
Lee said the Kennedy School has known since the fall that Holdren might be named to the post and has planned accordingly. Lee will teach the course on his own in the spring, though he said Holdren will be missed.
