CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is stepping down at the end of the current school year.
Local media outlets report Thursday that Karen Gil will return to teaching in the department of psychology. She had led the College of Arts and Sciences since 2009.
Gil wrote to faculty that is time for new leadership in the college as the school works to implement reforms in the wake of a 20-year academic scandal in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies.
Gil was mentioned in a report by former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein but not implicated.
The College of Arts and Sciences is UNC's largest academic unit, with more than 16,000 undergraduates and nearly 2,600 graduate students.
