CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The dean of the University of Virginia's School of Law is stepping down next summer.
The Daily Progress (http://bit.ly/1JkF11Q) reports Paul Mahoney announced he will leave his post in June 2016 to return to full-time teaching and scholarship. The university has formed a search committee, headed by John C. Jeffries, former dean of the Law School.
Mahoney led the Law School through record fundraising. Records show the school's endowment grew 55 percent on a per-student basis and a 2012 capital campaign raised about $170 million, around $20 million more than the original goal.
The school's endowment is the fifth largest among law schools in the nation. U.S. News & World Report routinely has the school on its list as one of the nation's top 10.
