Alix Ohlin is taking on at least the first task for a program that has been in disarray since the suspension and firing of its former chair, Stephen Galloway, under accusations of sexual harassment, in the fall of 2015 and early 2016. Ohlin, who was out of the country when this happened, says “I know it was an incredibly stressful time. … I think this program in particular is more than just the sum of these past few years. It does have a long tradition of fostering talent. It has great alumni, it has the ability to recover that and to rebuild and find itself again.”
