AMU Admissions Dept. Decimated
Mon, Apr09, 2007 - Category: University
Three of the five individuals comprising AMU's
Admissions Department resigned recently - Erin
Flaherty (Assistant Director of Admissions), Rose
DeCaro (Admissions Counselor), and John Gordon.
Flaherty & DeCaro have been AMU employees for
several years.
UPDATE, 4/10/07 - On the topic of resignations, Fumare reports today that Law School professor Lee Strang is leaving at the semester's end. Strang was trained at the prestigious University of Iowa College of Law and Harvard Law School, and has published extensively.
UPDATE, 4/11/07 - Sources report that the Admissions Department shake-up may be tied to Fr. Fessio's abrupt firing at the end of March. It is said that, in light of AMU's tanking student enrollment, then-Provost Fessio appointed John Gordon as Director of Admissions, a move made despite the objections of Chancellor Monaghan and President Healy. Gordon had been serving as Fr. Fessio's Assistant for Special Projects. The resignations of Gordon, Flaherty, and DeCaro prompted "panicked Board meetings".
