The board of regents of Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau announced the results of a periodic review of the status of six university deans and three associate deans. All three associate deans and five of the six deans were reappointed to five-year terms. The sixth dean, Margaret Noe, dean of the School of Education, was not reappointed but will continue on at the university as a tenured professor. Tamela Randolph was named interim dean of the School of Education, effective immediately.
Professor Noe has served as dean of the School of Education for the past three years. She is a graduate of Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois. Dr. Noe holds master’s and doctoral degrees in education from Illinois State University and a law degree from Southern Illinois University
Those familiar with this situation are aware that this is a very flawed decision on the part of the Board of Regents.
