previous Dean of (then) Natural Sciences and Provost
From Rick Luttmann:
Many will remember Don Farish, who served in the 1980s as Dean of Natural Sciences (as the School was then known) and in the 1990s as Provost. We have received news of his death last July at age 75. He was succeeded as Provost here by Bernie Goldstein, when he left to take the Presidency of Rowan University in New Jersey (formerly Glassboro State). Subsequently he was the President of Roger Williams University in Rhode Island..
