BU Haifa program to go ahead despite violence

Boston University International Programs says it does not plan to cancel its fall program in Haifa, Israel, where rocket attacks have killed at least 10 people, even as many students are canceling plans or returning early from trips to Israel and Lebanon. “We are still monitoring the situation, and working with students who wish to switch into other programs for the fall, which can be handled without too much trouble,” Haifa program enrollment coordinator Joe Finkhouse said in an email Monday.

Kenneth Lutchen named dean of ENG

After a six-month search for a permanent leader, Boston University’s College of Engineering will enter the fall semester complete with a new freshman class, a new vision from President Robert Brown and a new dean. Biomedical engineering chairman Kenneth Lutchen was announced as the permanent replacement for former ENG dean David Campbell, who left the college to assume responsibilities as university provost.
