Dean Macias wrong choice for provost
Dear Editor:
Dean Macias is known to the faculty as a bullying autocrat whose word cannot be relied on. He has done Washington University much damage. We hope that after being kicked upstairs to the position of provost, he will be replaced by a new dean who understands the principles of collegiality and faculty autonomy. We wonder if the chancellor would hire or tolerate such a dean; the recent experience of the engineering school suggests that this is unlikely, but even he may be able to learn from a mistake.
