University of Montana will have just one woman as a permanent dean

The University of Montana will have just one woman as a permanent dean leading its 14 academic units.

Last month, Roberta Evans stepped down as dean of the Phyllis J. Washington College of Education and Health Sciences in order to do more research and teaching. And Shannon O’Brien took a buyout as dean of Missoula College.

Their departures leave Dean of Libraries Shali Zhang as the only woman serving as a permanent dean, although Bitterroot College lists a female director on its website.
