Long Beach : Dean of Business Resigns
Mohamed Moustafa, the embattled dean of the School of Business Administration at California State University, Long Beach, has announced his resignation after the decision by a national accreditation board to put the school on academic probation.
“Since I am not convinced that the administration is willing to support the changes necessary to move the school to full accreditation, I feel I must resign the deanship effective the first day of the 1988 fall semester,” Moustafa wrote in a letter dated April 12.
Last December, a majority of the school’s 69 tenured faculty members approved a resolution calling for the dean’s immediate resignation. Moustafa, who has been dean since 1982, attributed the decision by the board of directors of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business in part to that and other actions taken by the faculty.
Under the probationary arrangement, the school has one year to clear up deficiencies cited by the accreditation board. Moustafa has said he plans to remain on the CSULB staff as a professor.
