“Now, after 11 very rewarding (if sometimes too abundantly busy) years, I have decided to return to the Faculty,” Knowles said in a statement released yesterday.
Many Faculty and administrators said they had expected Knowles to step down in the near future, since he had long made it clear he intended to serve roughly a decade as dean.
Knowles told The Crimson yesterday that he had long felt his departure from the deanship should shortly follow the selection of a new University president.
When he started the job in 1991, Knowles said, he had planned to serve about 10 years. He is currently serving his 11th year in a position whose average tenure has, in recent history, been about six years.
Knowles, who is the Houghton professor of chemistry and biochemistry, said he will return to teaching—but he said he has not yet decided whether he will return to the classroom immediately next fall.
