Larry Ponoroff New Dean At Arizona Law; Wendell Pritchett Named Rutgers Chancellor

  Lots of law professor administration news this afternoon.  Larry Ponoroff, the dean of Tulane University law school has been selected the new dean at the University of Arizona James E. Roger College of Law.  Ponoroff has been dean at Tulane for eight years – including several challenging years holding things together in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina.   Before joining Tulane in 1995, Ponoroff was a professor and associate dean at the University of Toledo School of Law. 

Meanwhile, closer to my home, University of Pennsylvania law professor Wendell Pritchett has moved across the river to become Chancellor of Rutgers-Camden.  Pritchett joined Penn in 2001, and was an associate dean from 2006-08.  For part of the last year, he served in  the administration of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. Pritchett succeeds our own dean here at Drexel, Roger Dennis, who had served in the Rutgers post for about a decade.
