Chris Eisgruber Named President Of Princeton

Christopher Eisgruber, the provost of Princeton, has been named the school's next president. Eisgruber had an old-school trajectory, with no VAP or Ph.D (albeit with no time in practice either.)  He won a Rhodes while at Princeton, studied law at the University of Chicago  (where he was the Law Review EIC), clerked for Patrick Higginbotham on the Fifth Circuit and Justice Stevens, and promptly accepted a position as an assistant professor at NYU.   He produced significant scholarship in the area in constitutional law.  After 11 years at NYU, Eisgruber moved to Princeton to direct the Program in Law and Public Affairs and became provost in 2004.
