Another Aggie Bites the Dust: Mays Business School dean gives no reason for resignation
Texas A&M's longtime dean of the business school is stepping down.
Provost Karan Watson announced in an internal memo Monday that Jerry Strawser will not seek another term as dean of the Mays Business School. Strawser declined comment. He offered little insight to the decision in a staff email sent to colleagues Monday morning.
"It is with extremely mixed emotions that I wish to inform you I have indicated to Provost Watson that I will not seek consideration for an additional term as dean of Mays Business School," Strawser wrote. "On one hand, 12 years is a long tenure and we all know that new leadership, new ideas, and new perspectives are important. On the other, I have never enjoyed a job or group of colleagues more than I have at Mays Business School."
It is unclear when Strawser's tenure will end. A university spokeswoman said Stawser's term as dean ends next year and that it's standard protocol to give advanced notice to find a replacement.
