amed Dean of UT Law School photo by Mark Sims I ' m delighted and hope to be able to fulfill the trust that President Berdahl has placed in me. -Michael Sharlot, dean of UT School of Law After a nationwide search that lasted nearly a year, the interim dean of the UT School of Law, Michael Sharlot, was named to the position permanently March 8, 1995 Sharlot had acted as law dean since Mark Yudof was named executive vice president and provost in April of 1994. Sharlot, an expert in criminal proce- dures and former general counsel for the Peace Corps, has been a mem- ber of the UT faculty since 1969. He served as associate dean for acade- mic affairs under three deans at the School of Law. Oh, of course, I ' m delighted and hope to be able to fulfill the trust that President Berdahl has placed in me, Sharlot said. Sharlot said he had been making decisions as if he were dean. He had proceeded with new foreign pro- grams and continued development of new joint programs, he added. I knew that I would be acting dean for a very long period of time, and the school has to go on with its programs and its new initiatives, he said. Sharlot said that in the face of limit- ed state support of higher education, his goal is to make a great law school even greater. He added that his greatest chal- lenge is the same as all administra- tors - meeting demand for great edu- cation in the face of decreasing state appropriations. Yudof, who made the appointment along with Berdahl, said Sharlot will continue to advance the pluralistic vision of the law school through his commitment to international and clini- cal programs. We have students with many different interests, he said. We need for the law school to maintain that diverse charac- ter. Yudof described selecting the new law dean as a balancing process. We considered the faculty ' s views. We were considerate about the alumni and the curriculum of the law school, he said. Yudof added that Sharlot excelled in faculty opinion surveys. I think he ' s the perfect choice, said Juan Zabala, assistant dean for busi- ness affairs. He ' s an integral part of the administration. Zabala added that Sharlot ' s long his- tory with the law school has prepared him for this position. For purposes of fund raising and alumni relations ... his built-in experi- ence made him better than the other candidates, Zabala said. Sharlot received his bachelor ' s degree from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. At the UT School of Law, he developed and directed Texas ' first clinical program for future prosecutors from 1979 to 1983. Yudof said Sharlot will put a heavy fin- ger on the scale when considering promotions of deserving professors. He ' s a good teacher himself and admires it in other people, he said. A search committee made up of faculty, alumni and students present- ed a list of four finalists last month. One of the finalist, Gene Nichol, dean of the University of Colorado School of Law, withdrew from consideration. Sharlot was chosen over Carole Goldberg-Ambrose, a professor of law at the University of California at Los Angeles, and Thomas Sullivan, dean of the University of Arizona Law School. Jonathan Quander, a second-year law student and member of the search committee, said that even though the final choice was Sharlot, the only internal candidate, the search was not in vain. The whole purpose was to identify candidates from east to west and in between, said Quander, who served as president of the Student Bar Association. The nationwide search served its purpose. The law school was not going to lose out either way. Elizabeth Colvin, a second-year law student, said that the appointment will allow the law school to return to normal procedures. I ' m really glad that the decision has been made, Colvin said. The search has taken time away from the professors. She added that Sharlot will bring con- tinuity to the law school. We know what he stands for and know what he believes, Colvin said. -Melanie Gerik
