Salovey noted that the members of the committee will meet broadly with the Yale community. “They will seek to define the essential qualities, broadly speaking, of the next dean and collect recommendations for specific individuals who might serve in this capacity,” he said. “The next dean will be an exceptional scholar with demonstrated commitment to the university’s educational mission.”
“I also want to take this opportunity to reiterate my profound gratitude to Jonathan Holloway for all that he has contributed to the life and success of our undergraduate community. He has positioned Yale College for continued excellence under the next dean,” said Salovey.
