University President Christopher L. Eisgruber has appointed a 11-member committee to search for a new dean of Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA). Cecilia Rouse, the school’s dean since 2012, has been nominated by President-elect Joe Biden to chair the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).
Mark Watson, the Howard Harrison and Gabrielle Snyder Beck Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, will serve as acting dean beginning Jan. 4.
Eisgruber celebrated Rouse’s nomination in a recent blog post.

The Knight Science Journalism (KSJ) Program at MIT has announced the publication of a new digital handbook for science editors, offered without cost to journalists around the world, and a new fact-checking site that includes a searchable database of fact-checkers and a free teaching module for university students.
Both of these pioneering projects are part of a redesign of KSJ’s home website and can be found under the resources tab on the home page. Other updates include a pictorial history of the program’s alumni, dating back to its founding in 1983, and expanded resources for science journalists in areas ranging from data journalism to Covid-19 reporting.
