Pope-Davis Resigns as Provost

Email sent to DePaul University Community on Friday, December 13, 2013:

Dear Campus Colleagues,

Effectively immediately and with the approval of the Board of Trustees, I accepted Dr. Donald Pope-Davis' resignation today as provost of DePaul University.

While words cannot express our regret that Don's service as provost was so short lived, I certainly respect his decision.

Don will be afforded a six-month sabbatical, after which he will teach and conduct research as a fully tenured professor in the department of psychology in the College of Science and Health.

Dr. Patricia D. O'Donoghue has agreed to return to the position of interim provost, also effective immediately.

We are grateful to Don for serving as provost these past six months. He cares deeply about DePaul University. Please join me in wishing Don the very best in his future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M.

President
