Dr. Rosemary Haggett, main campus provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, today announced that she has accepted the resignation of Dr. Yueh-Ting Lee as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, so he can “laterally transition to a new position within the University.”
Lee has accepted a role as associate vice president for analysis and assessment in Human Resources. His resignation and transition to the new role will take effect Sept. 19.
“Dr. Lee has worked in the areas of management development and industrial and organizational psychology,” wrote Haggett in a memo to the campus community, noting, “He has focused significantly on cross-cultural psychology and diversity training, ethnic studies, social cognition, human motivation and psychology of conflict at the workplace, and we believe he will be a valuable addition to the HR team, additionally because of his quantitative and qualitative research experience.”
In the memo, Haggett pointed to the strategic assessment scheduled for this time as a “collaborative visioning exercise,” after which the search for a permanent dean will begin. She will announce an interim dean before the beginning of the academic year.
“The College of Arts and Sciences has an impact on the life of each and every student at The University of Toledo,” Haggett wrote. “Its programs are at the core of our many offerings and ensuring its future success is imperative to the future of this University. That is why we will move forward thoughtfully and deliberately as we work together in these coming months to shape the future of the college.”
Haggett added, “These are complex times in higher education. There is a paradigm shift unfolding nationally, and we must find ways to reconcile the rich tradition of higher education with new and varying demands from prospective students, parents, the business community, government and other constituent groups.
“The University’s goals in the context of this paradigm shift are outlined in our strategic plan. Simply put, the strategic plan is a guide to creating an environment in which we can prepare our students, in all disciplines, to think critically about the world around them, providing the foundation for their lifelong success.”
