The Homa Files

The following email was recently sent by the Dean of Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.

In a nutshell: oops !

Subject: Message from the Dean

Dear Kellogg community –

I wanted to personally write to you about a situation that has received some attention.

During a visit to the U.S. two months ago, Khamis Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi, attended a non-degree executive course at Kellogg from Feb. 9 – 11 at the Allen Center.

The U.S. State Department was aware of his visit, which occurred prior to the uprising in Libya and before the recent, very troubling allegations against him surfaced.

Our community shares a commitment to respecting human dignity and the integrity of our learning environment.

The Office of the Dean plans to actively review all of our enrollment procedures and criteria, and will determine any changes that need to be made.

Dean, Kellogg School of Management
Northwestern University

Bottom line: Sons of tyrants will no longer be given admissions preference.

My, how the world is changing.

Thanks to RM for feeding the lead.
