The same day Wendy Olson decided she was leaving the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR), she received an e-mail she wasn’t expecting.

During the past weeks, she had helped interview three candidates for the director’s position, each vying to fill the spot left when former Director Bill Fischer accepted a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in November. But, she found in the e-mail from Ed Klotzbier, vice president for student affairs, none had been chosen to fill the role.
