Nancy Dye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nancy S. Dye is the 13th president of Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. She was appointed President of Oberlin after having served as Acting President of Vassar College for several months in 1992.
Dye attended Vassar College as an undergraduate. She received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin in 1974, and accepted a position at the University of Kentucky, where she taught from 1974 to 1988. In 1988, she accepted a position at Vassar, where she served as Dean of the Faculty as well as Professor of History. As a professional historian, she was the author of numerous articles and several books, and she served on the editorial board of The Journal of American History.[1]
On September 11th 2006, Nancy Dye announced her resignation as President of Oberlin College. She will continue to serve until the end of the current academic year. The resignation follows a period of unrest and dissatisfaction with Dye from poor relations with students and faculty. Her most recent biannual review conducted by Robert Atwell was unreleased. Official reasons for the burial of the report are because of poor methodologies though many suspect that it was due to a largely negative review.[2] Despite the negative recent history, Dye oversaw the construction of new buildings, the increased selectiveness of the student body, and helped grow the endowment with the largest capital campaign in the college's history.
