In its story on the appointment, The New York Times called Clough, who will earn $490,000 a year, “highly regarded.” The Associated Press said Clough will become the 12th secretary (the title of the chief) of the world’s largest museum, which has more than 6,000 employees and a $1 billion annual budget.
Clough became president of Georgia Tech in 1994 and also currently serves as vice chair of the United States Council on Competitiveness.
