Posted by DEAN SKIP RUTHERFORD – Donna Shalala, President of the University of Miami and former Secretary of Health and Human Services, was here today speaking at the Clinton School. Among the many stories she shared, the Secretary said the chair she used in the White House Cabinet Room is being put to good use. When members like Shalala leave the President’s cabinet, they can purchase the chair they sat in during the meetings. Most all do. She keeps her chair in her office at UM and invites students the school is recruiting to sit in it–noting this unplanned secret weapon is particularly effective with the football players.
You can see a replica of the White House Cabinet Room in the Clinton Presidential Library–including a chair where the Secretary of Health the Human Services sat–just like the one in Secretary Shalala’s office in Miami.
