Shameless cross-posting on the AALS rankings workshop (and some advice for dean candidates)

Just wanted to let folks know that my own blog is up and running (thanks, as always, to Jim Chen), and my first substantive post, This year's AALS was different . . . , talks a bit about the recent workshop on rankings at the AALS. It also elaborates on some of my comments in the Deans' Section meeting.

I believe that Jim's going to post some post-rankings-workshop discussions, and I'm looking forward to reading what everyone has to say.
