After the Harvard men's basketball team subdued his Brandeis squad, 63-40, last night at Briggs Cage, Coach Kevin O'Brien attempted to make this one sound a little more thrilling than it actually was.
In his letter, the former dean also charged that there was a "strained relationships between students and administration" on campus. He also said that Brandeis needed to appoint a minority to the Board of Trustees.
But Steven P. Burg, dean of Brandeis College, said that Alexander left the Waltham university to better his career. Alexander will take a similar position at Marquette College in Wisconsin November first. Burg also said that Alexander has family in Wisconsin.
While some students at Brandeis have called Alexander's departure a symbol of administrative neglect of minority concerns, Burg said that the university intended to find a replacement to fill the position quickly, despite a hiring freeze. "We do have a commitment," he said.
Alexander's position was created two years ago along with an Intercultural Library at Brandeis in response to demands of minority students, Burg said. Alexander was hired in August, 1989.
