Dean of College of Pharmacy Resigns Suddenly

Breaking news

Dean Lamar Pritchard of the ULM College of Pharmacy e-mailed his faculty on Friday, August 22, 2008, to announce that he was resigning his position. There was a mad scramble by the administration to cta's. Here's the skinny. During the 2008 legislative session the Dean was in Baton Rouge visiting with the northeast Louisiana Delegation and asking for money for the School of Pharmacy. The legislators responded, "We gave you money last year. Why are you asking for more?" The Dean's response was, "We didn't get the money you gave us last year!" The legislators, all men and women of courage, called the administration asking/demanding an explanation of the Dean's remarks in Baton Rouge. Again, ever adroit at cta's, the administration said there must be some mistake. Yeah, the mistake was the Dean talked to the legislators! There's more involving the accreditation process, promises made but unfunded by the administration, but that's inside pool.
