USC Names Beong-Soo Kim As President

USC’s Board of Trustees selected Beong-Soo Kim to become permanent president. He has been the interim president.

The selection of Kim was fairly easy: He’s been a popular figure on campus in contrast to his two predecessors (Max Nikias, Carol Folt) and known as a people person despite inheriting some awful financial predicaments from Folt.

He also received a hearty endorsement from Jen Cohen, which hopefully does not mean he will allow the Notre Dame series to wither away.

It should also be said there wasn’t a huge pool of candidates who were eager to follow Folt. Few want to deal with that fallout.

  1. Whew, good to know. I thought that you might have been referring to Trader Joe’s. NYU and USC are the only universities with an embedded Trader Joe’s store. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962
