Dive Summary:
- Margaret Crocco, the dean of the University of Iowa's College of Education, has resigned.
- Crocco's resignation arrives in the wake of reports that high-ranking university officials ordered the destruction of records documenting faculty discontent over her performance as dean.
- While Provost Barry Butler denies the reports, the entire faculty advisory board resigned last week after Butler allegedly ordered board members to delete electronic copies and turn over hard copies of the complaints.
From the article:
"... The resignation follows reports that Butler and other high-ranking UI officials ordered the destruction of comments left in the 2012 CoE Working at Iowa survey, in which faculty and staff members criticized Crocco’s performance. All seven members of the college’s Faculty Advisory Committee resigned last Friday following reports of the actions by administrators. ..."
