Cornell Sun reports that the dean has departed abruptly.

I'm sure we'll hear more about this within the next few weeks and months, but this is very suspicious. As an alumnus of one of the departments in the college I should really read up more about the whole union in the first place.


Edit: The former dean will stay on as a faculty member. However, reasons for his resignation are still unknown and no one is saying anything.
