With seven weeks left in the semester, former Dean of the Potter College of Arts and Letters Larry Snyder’s resignation was announced in an email sent to faculty and staff by Provost Terry Ballman.

Before his resignation, Snyder was one of two deans left from former President Gary Ransdell’s tenure. Only Cheryl Stevens, the dean of Ogden College of Science and Engineering, remains in her position. Snyder had served as dean nearly four years and will resume his position as a faculty member in January 2020. 

Following the announcement, students, parents, prospective students, faculty and staff have voiced concern and asked for details into the sudden resignation.
