Junior Faculty

Our cousins across the quad at Rochester's renowned Simon School of Business (ranked 3rd globally for finance) have a pair of new hires:
Angela Kniazeva and her younger sister Diana [are] due to take up their new positions in September at the University of Rochester, where half of their students will likely be older than them.

The pair, who already have masters degrees in international policy from Stanford University in California, were picking up their doctorates from New York University's Stern business school on Wednesday after five years of study.
So they're smart and they've stuck together as sisters. Why is this special? Because they'll be too young to date most of their students:
The duo were home-schooled by their parents and earned the equivalent of their US high-school diploma at the ages of 10 and 11 before graduating college in Russia at the ages of 13 and 14. They graduated from Stanford in 2002.

[Now] they are only 19 and 21.
Wow. Kudos to the Simon School for taking the leap.

Hat tip to Drudge.
