So, the Board of Trustees is having second thoughts about Goldin. They spent a long time searching for him, and he seems well-qualified — let’s at least give him a couple of years to see how he does. Not everyone will agree with everything he proposes, but it’s time to move beyond Silber. If Goldin proposes anything obviously stupid and potentially catastrophic, such as putting half of our endowment in a biotech start-up, the Board should step in, but until then, let’s step back and let him do his job.
