Woon resigns as head of pluralism office

By Gus Lûbin | June 27, 2006

Courtesy of Tommy Lee Woon Tommy Lee Woon, the first associate dean of the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, announced Monday that he will leave his current position to become Dean of Multicultural Affairs at Macalester College in Minnesota, citing family considerations. Woon told The Dartmouth that his decision centered on his wife's difficulties in finding a job in the Hanover area, saying that it would be easier for her to find work in an urban setting. College administrators expressed their commitment to replacing Woon, who will depart in mid-August, and to maintaining the once-controversial office, which "aims to universalize diversity and leadership development," according to the OPAL website. "We might not launch the search [for a replacement] right now but there should be absolutely no concern on anyone's part that this work will not continue," Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia said. The creation of OPAL and Woon's deanship during a financial crunch in 2003 was criticized by some alumni and The Dartmouth Review as a waste of resources.
