The Electrical Engineering PhD and former CEO of Northrop Grumman will join Apple’s board of directors and serve as the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee. The spot was vacated when Jerome York passed away in March.
“Ron is an engineer at heart, who then became a very successful business leader. We are very excited to welcome him to Apple’s Board,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “In addition to having been the CEO of a high-tech Fortune 100 company, Ron has a Ph.D. in engineering and has been involved in the development of some very sophisticated technology.”
A little background from Wikipedia:.
Ronald D. Sugar (born 1949) has been chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Northrop Grumman Corporation, a global defense company, since 2003. On September 16, 2009, he announced that he would retire as CEO from Northrop Grumman at the end of the year, to be succeeded by now Chief Operating Officer Wesley G. Bush. He has also been a director of Chevron Corporation since 2005. In 1968, he graduated summa cum laude in engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles. He obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA in 1971. He is a member of the USC Board of Trustees.
Press release follows.
The college preparatory schools would be restructured to teach by modules (the vocational schools could be similarly designed). For each grade level, a curriculum would be established identifying the subjects to be mastered to complete that grade. These might include fifteen to twenty topics each for math, science, history, language arts, fine arts, etc. Students would choose a topic module (e.g., beginning algebra: how to solve an equation), attend the classes, take a test (which might be written or oral), and have that module signed off by the teacher. Modules may be taken in any order, and students need not attend class to have a skill signed off; that is, they may study on their own or test on prior experience. Once all requirements for a grade were completed, the student would be awarded a diploma for that grade. Students would no longer achieve "high school graduation," but would be a graduate of the grade completed with a diploma for each level of achievement. Dropouts would no longer exist because every student would be a diploma-holding graduate of the last grade he/she completed successfully.
