MacArthur Foundation Seeks a Narrower, Deeper Focus.
Desruisseaux, Paul
Chronicle of Higher Education, v46 n45 pA34-36 Jul 14 2000
Reports that the new president of the MacArthur Foundation, Jonathan Fanton, is leading the philanthropic giant toward fewer but more goal-focused and larger grants. However, the president supports the famous MacArthur Fellows program despite criticisms of its nomination and selection criteria. Notes Fanton's background in academic grant-seeking rather than grant-giving. (DB)
