School of Law Dean Burnele V. Powell is stepping down from his post Jan. 1, 2006, to return to teaching in the school.
“As this chapter concludes, I look forward to a resumption of my teaching and scholarly responsibilities while simultaneously feeling enormous pride about what we have accomplished,” Powell said. “In addition to reorganizing the campaign for the new building through the enlistment of alumni and friends across the state and beyond, I am pleased that both internally and externally we are a stronger law school in every respect.”
Powell became dean of the law school in January 2004 after serving as professor and former dean of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. He also has taught at the University of Oregon School of Law, Washington University's law school, and the University of North Carolina law school.
Provost Mark Becker expects to announce an interim dean later this semester and plans to appoint a committee to conduct a national search for a new dean.
