New York University School of Law’s longtime leader will vacate the dean’s office at the end of the academic year.
Trevor Morrison said Thursday that he will step down in May, after nine years in the job. He plans to return to teaching full-time at the law school following a sabbatical.
Morrison, 50, was not immediately available Tuesday to discuss his reasons for stepping down. The university will launch a search for his replacement.
“Serving as the Dean of NYU Law is the best job I have ever had,” Morrison wrote in an email to students Thursday afternoon. “But strong institutions are made stronger by successful leadership transitions, and now is the right time for that to happen here.”
