Kavya Shivashankar, she ain’t.
Christina Paxson, the somewhat recently crowned Queen of the Tools, is off to a rough start, spelling wise.
Granted, as Dean of Woody Woo, you’re probably called upon to spell and pronounce some tricky words: obscure central Asian nations, the names of Russian diplomats, etc. So normally we’d be willing to give her a pass – Word, to our knowledge, is not currently packing a foreign affairs spell check suite.
But she spelled her own name wrong. Her first day on the job. In a letter to the WWS alumni, probably not the world’s most laid-back listserv.
To quote:
“Sincerely,
Christian Paxson
Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs”
Important? Not really.
Embarrasing Embarrassing? Yup.
Are we being petty? Probably. But c’mon! What else are we going to do? It’s summer!
Did you all mean to spell embarrassing wrong, in sympathy for Paxson?
