Silly me for searching for Karen's title "Director of Admissions at Harvard Law School" and getting no results.

You aren't wrong, but you are an asshole.

If one is going to post a LMGTFY link, shouldn't one make sure the Google results actually answer the question first?

I dunno, I've always seen LMGTFY as a "teach a man to fish" sort of thing. :|

It's there, though I will concede that you do have to look a tad farther than the first result's title.

Jesus guys, just answer his question!

OP, it's Jessica Soban. Actual title is Assistant Dean and Chief Admissions Officer.

It's all right everyone, no harm done. The change in title messed me up. Thanks.

I saw the title of the thread and thought I could help, but now I have no idea what the question is? :(

I thought he was asking for Karen Buttenbaum's replacement, since her old title was Director of Admissions?

I asked who replaced Karen at Harvard as Director of Admissions. I searched for that title and found nothing. It appears Jessica Sorban is her replacement albeit under a different title. I don't understand the title change (were Karen's responsibilities subsumed by Jessica?) but it appears my initial question (read: who is now in charge of admissions) has been answered!

My understanding is that HLS has an Assistant Dean and Chief Admissions Officer (Jessica Soban) and a Director of Admissions (formerly Karen Buttenbaum). Is that wrong?

Will there be another person assuming the title Director of Admissions or is Jessica going to assume that role under the title Assistant Dean and Chief Admissions Officer?

Hi everyone,
I figured I'd just clear this up. Jessica was -- and still is -- the Assistant Dean and Chief Admissions Officer, which means that she is the head of the admissions office. My title was Director of Admissions, but Jessica and I were not the only people on the senior staff at HLS. Even though I no longer work there and I don't speak for them, I can say that I don't believe that they will have anyone with the title Director of Admissions. The responsibilities of my old position will very likely be shifted to other very capable, wonderful people in the office.
I hope that clears things up.
Cheers,
Karen
