Dean Search
As Dean, I play no role in the choice of my successor. Our institution has a strong sense of faculty governance, and it is the law school professors who will have the most important collective voice in determining who leads us next. Although I have abided by the principle that I should not seek to influence the decision, I would like to comment on the process by praising everyone for the collegial discussions that I know have occurred and are continuing. In addition, I believe all of us should recognize the service of Dr. Beverly Schmoll, Dean of the Eugene Applebaum School of Pharmacy here, who has once again chaired the committee. I am confident that with the candidates who have been brought back to meet with all of our stakeholders, a terrific individual will be identified to serve as the tenth dean of this wonderful Law School.
