While Lewis did not get the nod to assume a combined deanship during Knowles’ time, some believe he would have filled the position well.
Mangelsdorf Professor of Natural Sciences J. Woodland Hastings says Lewis, as a Faculty member, was chosen to be dean of the College in part because the dean of the College might eventually oversee undergraduate education as well.
Ironically, the new structure—which Kirby says is the reason Lewis must go—is very similar to a proposal made by Lewis almost 10 years ago.
“Dean Lewis looked to be the perfect person to take the new position because he understood both ends,” Jewett says of the new deanship. “My preference would have been for him to continue as the dean.”
Kirby would not say why Lewis was not a candidate.
