It appears UVA has finally picked a replacement for the adored Ayers: A&S Online says that "Meredith Jung-En Woo, a nationally known expert on international political economy and East Asian politics, will become dean of the University of Virginia’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences on June 1."
Hopefully her temperment is as well-suited to the job as her resume - she she sounds like a fantastic pick to lead a more globally-focused College.
I'll eagerly await feedback from my Class of '09 friends at all the "greet-the-dean" events that I'm sure will be transpiring in the fall...

The University gets a lot wrong in terms of diversity but I'm so excited to see another very capable female hired. There's a lot of buzz that Ayers will take over for Casteen when he steps down, but it seems that we're not far away from having a very qualified, viable female candidate for the job. How exciting!
