"Five years was enough"—that's how Dick Gross explains his resignation as Dean of Harvard College in an e-mail to the Crimson.
Throughout the spring, however, Gross, 56, gave no indication of planning to resign. He said, for instance, that he was considering launching a review of the College's Administrative Board in the fall.
So the discussion about this resignation seems to be centering on a few questions:
1) Did Gross jump or was he pushed, and if the latter, who was the pusher? 2) Who will be the next dean of the college? 3) Should the job again be split into two positions, dean of Harvard College and dean of undergraduate education.
