Letter to the Editor: Best dean for the job

I read with interest your article on Dr. Patricia Mosto, the newly appointed dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Education, and Sciences [New dean up for challenges in 2009; Nov. 21]. While all of us will undoubtedly extend a warm welcome to Dr. Mosto when she arrives on campus, many faculty members (myself included) remain convinced that the best person for the dean’s position is the individual who currently occupies it: Dr. Barry Truchil.
