With a faculty of over 35 people, the School of Communication and the Arts is hardly at a loss for potential Deans. Faculty has the opportunity to apply for the position, or to nominate others for consideration. In the past, Deans and other figures have been hired from within the college, and the Deans from the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Computer Science and Mathematics were previous faculty members.
As Interim Dean, Ritschdorff has all the powers and responsibilities of a Dean, making him the temporary equivalent of a permanent dean. Ritschdorff controls the school's budget, he is a member of President Murray's cabinet, and he recommends appointments to the school's faculty.
Prior to his appointment as Interim Dean, Dr. Ritschdorff was the Assistant Academic Vice President, a position he received in September of 2001. The previous Dean at the School of Communication and the Arts served for 11 years, but left in order to become the Dean of Graduate programs at another institution.
