Morse named interim dean for business school But Dale Morse said he will not apply for the permanent position By Laura Cadiz Higher Education Editor Dale Morse has been named the interim dean for the University’s Charles H. Lundquist College of Business. “I’m overwhelmed,” said Morse, previously head of the accounting department. “I need to learn about a variety of new things. I feel re sponsible to a lot of people — the students, faculty and business community as well.” University Provost John Mose ley announced Thursday that Morse will immediately fill the po sition of dean through the end of the school year. Morse succeeds Tim McGuire, who is leaving to become the se nior executive vice president and chief operating officer of Manage ment Science Associates Inc., a company in Pittsburgh. Morse’s colleagues said they be lieve he is ideal for the position be cause he is a consensus builder. “Dale is just a great choice,” said Dave Boush, head of the marketing department. “He has the respect of all the faculty, and he’s extremely thoughtful. He makes good deci sions and considers all sides ... He’s the kind of person that can get faculty to agree on things. ” Wendy Mitchell, assistant dean of the business school, agreed. “He is a person who looks for ways to bring people together and find commonalities," she said. Morse said his goal is to “contin ue the work of the previous dean, to try and satisfy the new demands of a changing world.” Additionally, Morse said he in tends to look into coordinating business curriculum so students can complete core classes their ju nior year and move smoothly to electives their senior year. Morse first came to the Univer sity in 1991. Since then he has helped to implement and revise the MBA program. The program was introduced in the fall of 1996, and at the end of the first year, it won the U.S. Association of Small Business Entrepreneurs Award. In a few months, the University will conduct a nationwide search to fill the position. Morse said he does not intend to run for dean be cause he said it creates a disadvan tage to have an inside candidate running for the position. “When people find out [that there’s an inside candidate] they think the search is more form than substance,” he said. “I think the process is impaired by having an inside candidate.” -mmMsmm MEETINGS The Model United Nations is holding a meeting and practice session at 8 p.m. in 137 Educa tion.
