Via Brian Leiter, Nancy Rapoport, Dean of the University of Houston Law Center, has resigned. Nancy became Dean during my first year directing the legal writing program at Houston, so I will always think of her as "my dean." I don't envy any Dean the difficult job of dean-ing, but Nancy's tenure has been "extreme dean-ing." Within a year of her arriving, a tropical storm destroyed much of the law school and caused (at that time) the largest academic loss in U.S. history. Within a few months, though, the community was rocked with the fall of Enron, the acquisition of Compaq, September 11 and the consequences to industry, including Continental Airlines, and a general economic downturn in the oil patch. I wish Dean Rapoport well in the next chapter of her career; may she teach (or dean) in less interesting times.
