Scott Named Interim Dean of College of Education and Technology
Dr. Robert Scott has been named interim dean for the College of Education and Technology for the 2010-11 academic year, effective immediately. Scott has served as chair and professor of the FHSU Department of Justice Studies since 2007. Most recently, he served as the Provost at Keystone College in Scranton, Pa., from 2005 to 2007. Prior to that Scott served as Provost at the University of Maine at Fort Kent in Fort Maine, from 2002-2005.

Scott holds a B.A. degree in Political science earned from Brock University in 1987 and a M.S. degree in Criminal Justice from SUNY Buffalo in 1989. He received a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice granted from Sam Houston State University in 1993.

”Based on his service as a provost and line officer at two institutions of higher education, I believe he will provide the necessary short-term leadership to maintain continuity and direction for the coming year,” said Dr. Larry Gould, FHSU provost.

Scott replaces Dr. Debbie Mercer who has been named Associate Dean for Teacher Education in the College of Education at Kansas State University, Manhattan. He can be reached at Rarick Hall 213B, (785) 628-5866 or
