Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 28, 2024

The bookie is probably hoping the Dean will be able to payoff his debts with the salary increase.

How did those ice cubes mysteriously get into his drink??

I presume somebody had nominated GBT, prompting this series. And after it, Harvard was deluged with nominations for Zonker. Or maybe Duke.

Online Sports Betting nominated him after he allowed sports bookies to watch team practice sessions.

The winner will be whoever promises to preserve Mrs.Bartley’s Burgers in perpetuity

Not sure if “respectfully” is apt here. Didn’t the last president get booted in record time, in line with a national trend?

This is timely as it shows how worthless DEI is now.

Is it my imagination, or, other than skin color, does the dean look exactly like Mike’s former boss Bernie?

It was done as a loophole to get around that nasty rule that you cannot nominate yourself. :)

This may work for the Nobel Prize, where anyone can indeed nominate anyone else, but I believe Harvard chooses it’s Presidents using the normal search committee that may take the offhanded suggestion but has no public nomination process that I know of.
