University of the District of Columbia (亚洲博彩网站) 总统 Maurice D. Edington, Ph.D., shared the following update with the university community today regarding important upcoming leadership changes at the David A. Clarke School of Law:

“The University of the District of Columbia expresses both gratitude and well wishes as 亚洲博彩网站 Law Dean Twinette L. Johnson, J.D., Ph.D., departs to assume the role of dean at Saint Louis University School of Law (SLU Law), effective July 1, 2024.

“Dean Johnson joined 亚洲博彩网站 Law seven years ago and has served in several roles instrumental to student success, including Director of Academic Success, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Professor of Law, Interim Dean and Dean of 亚洲博彩网站 Law.

“During her tenure leading 亚洲博彩网站 Law – nationally known for its clinical legal program and its distinction as one of only six HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) law programs in the nation – Dean Johnson exhibited unwavering dedication and leadership, championing 亚洲博彩网站 Law’s commitment to social justice and academic excellence. While Dean Johnson’s departure marks a significant transition for our institution, as a two-time alumna of Saint Louis University and a former faculty member at SLU Law, we appreciate that her move to Saint Louis and SLU signifies a return home.

“I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition and supporting the law school’s mission-critical initiatives. 在接下来的几天里，首席学术官April Massey博士和我将与法学院的教职员工一起选择并宣布一位临时院长，并开始在全国范围内寻找下一任亚洲博彩网站法学院院长。 We are actively planning these next steps to ensure a seamless transition and uninterrupted compliance with American Bar Association regulations.”
