Time is running out for Georgetown University Law professor Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz to secure the 4,000-plus signatures from Yale alumni necessary for those not otherwise selected by the university to win a seat on the ballot for the Yale Corporation, the body overseeing Yale University’s administration and operations.
No doubt university President Peter Salovey will breathe a sigh of relief if Rosenkranz cannot get the thousands of signatures needed for a place on the ballot. Alumni would then be forced to vote for a candidate selected by the “Yale Alumni Association for the Nomination of Alumni Fellows,” a body which includes the university secretary, another fellow selected by the existing corporation, and the president of the University Council (who is elected upon the recommendation of Salovey).
