University of Rochester

The Dean of the College for the University of Rochester for the past decade will be stepping down from that role.

Richard Feldman will leave the dean position at the end of the current academic year. 

Feldman, who is also a professor of philosophy in the School of Arts & Sciences will be returning to the philosophy department after a year of leave in the 2017-18 academic year.

U of R President Joel Seligman says that Feldman “has demonstrated an enormous commitment to the college and his impact on its progress cannot be overstated.”

A search for a new dean will begin after the appointment of a new dean of the faculty of Arts, Sciences and Engineering.
