New York University, which has become known for its global aspirations as much as its enviable home in Greenwich Village, named the head of one of the world’s most prestigious universities as its 16th president on Wednesday. When the new president, Andrew Hamilton, leaves his post at Oxford University to join N.Y.U. in January, he will be walking into a set of complex challenges. He will be leading a university with aggressive expansion plans, both internationally and in New York, where those plans are tied up in a court battle.
