Southeast provost to retire

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Correction: In the April 28, 2009 issue of The Arrow, it was incorrectly published that Southeast Provost Jane Stephens had officially retired on April 27, 2009. Instead, it was April 27 that Southeast President Kenneth W. Dobbins accepted the retirement request from Stephens. Stephens will not be retiring this semester and university officials are hoping to have a new Provost on campus effective Jan. 4, 2010. The Arrow regrets this error.
