Dear Colleagues,

As you may know, Paul Salamanca’s appointment as acting dean ends June 30, 2025, and he will be taking sabbatical leave during the next academic year. Please join us in thanking him for his service this past year in the UK J. David Rosenberg College of Law (RCOL). To ensure a smooth transition upon his departure from the role, it is necessary to appoint the next interim dean to lead RCOL.  

Anyone in the RCOL community is welcome to suggest names of faculty candidates to serve as interim dean. Please click here to submit your recommendation for an interim dean, including a brief justification. Self-nominations are acceptable. All recommendations and justifications are treated confidentially. 

To ensure full consideration for interim dean recommendations, please submit your nominations no later than noon on Tuesday, May 27

Based on the recommendations of the RCOL community, I will consider the names suggested and engage in conversations with candidates of interest. With this critical input, I will select an interim dean and announce the appointment soon thereafter.

Thank you very much for your assistance in this important matter.

Robert S. DiPaola 
Provost
