Blaise Cronin will return to his post as dean of the School
of Library and Information Science at IU next week. IU Trustees
approved his appointment, effective Thursday (July 1), in January.
He previously was dean of the school from 1991 to spring 2003
and has been Rudy Professor of information science since 1999.
"I'm delighted Blaise has agreed to return as dean. He took over a strong school in 1991 and made it even stronger," said Kenneth Gros Louis, IU Bloomington interim chancellor. "Blaise's leadership is acknowledged across the campus, and his voice carries more weight with other administrators than the size of his school would suggest."
Debora Ralf Shaw has served as interim dean of the school since Cronin's departure. She remains a professor of library and information science and will continue to serve as associate dean in the school.
