WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Smithsonian Institution returned to its academic roots on Saturday, naming the president of Georgia Tech as the new leader of the museum complex beleaguered by financial scandals.
G. Wayne Clough, an engineer by training, will become the 12th secretary of the world's largest museum and research complex on July 1, assuming control of an institution that has been in turmoil in the past year.
"I know the Smithsonian has challenges," Clough said at a news conference. "We will surmount those challenges."
