Students, faculty and staff will guide process
The Ohio State University
President Kristina M. Johnson sent the following email to The Ohio State University community today (Dec. 10).
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
I write to provide you with details on the national search for Ohio State’s next executive vice president and provost.
I have asked Divisional Dean of Natural and Mathematical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Susan Olesik and Executive Vice President for Research, Innovation and Knowledge Enterprise Dr. Grace Wang to co-chair a search committee of outstanding faculty, students and staff from multiple colleges and university units.

Vivek Kaliraman, who lives in Los Angeles, has celebrated every Christmas since 2002 with his best friend, who lives in Houston. But, this year, instead of boarding an airplane, which felt too risky during the COVID-19 pandemic, he took a car and plans to stay with his friend for several weeks.
The trip – a 24-hour drive – was too much for one day, though, so Kaliraman called seven hotels in Las Cruces, New Mexico – which is about halfway – to ask how many rooms they were filling and what their cleaning and food-delivery protocols were.
“I would call at nighttime and talk to one front desk person and then call again at daytime,” said Kaliraman, 51, a digital health entrepreneur. “I would make sure the two different front desk people I talked to gave the same answer.”
