According to Kirby’s plan, Lewis would have no place in this new structure—and was not considered for the combined deanship, which instead fell to Dean of Undergraduate Education Benedict H. Gross ’71.
While the University’s press release announcing the change simply stated that Lewis would “conclude his service as dean of Harvard College” at the end of the year, Lewis by all accounts did not want to leave.
Several administrators say Kirby had wanted the press release to state that Lewis had resigned, but Lewis refused.
Another administrator, though, says Lewis was not asked to resign.
Both Lewis and Kirby declined to comment on the matter.
