Garber to serve as president through 2026-27 academic year: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/08/garber-to-serve-as-president-through-2026-27-academic-year/

I think this meets the market’s language of the “next president of Harvard”. The “interim” designation is being dropped in all of the recent announcements. Resolving.

Not really an “identity category”

@AmHa If "identity category" means "category which can serve as an identifier", which is how I would define it, then it would qualify. How do you define that term?

@father you should meet some harvard grads and see if you reconsider =) they'll let you know their identity real fast. "A school in boston"

@father I intended the term to refer more to demographic categories rather than simply any identifying characteristic, but admittedly it’s an ambiguous term and I’ve changed the title of the market to make it clearer. Main reason that I’m sticking to the stricter sense is so it doesn’t duplicate a similar market created around the same time as this one which is much broader (essentially any characteristic or statement about x).

@AmHa yeah, legacy admissions is under attack so it's not as much of a demographic trait anymore :). My traits market includes alum status and lots of other aspects. But it's also nice that this market is more targeted.
