Ohio University will lose another top administrator, as the Eastern Campus Dean Richard Greenlee will be stepping down next July to take an early retirement plan.
“We also have heard that Greenlee is taking the early retirement but have not seen the paperwork. I assume it is currently being prepared,” said John Biancamano, director of OU Legal Affairs, in an email.
Although Greenlee recently decided to retire, he will not leave OU until July 2012, said Ann Fidler, chief of staff to Executive Vice President and Provost Pam Benoit. There are no plans yet to form a search committee for Greenlee's replacement, she said.
"We haven't started that process; he just recently made up his mind only a few days ago that he was going to retire, so there hasn't been time to do any planning," Fidler said.
Greenlee is the sixth OU dean to step down in the past six weeks. Greenlee has served as dean of the Eastern campus since July 2009 and began working at OU in 1990. He earned $131,300 this year, according to OU’s salary database.
