Cincinnati Enquirer: University of Cincinnati music dean under fire from faculty
Douglas Knehans, dean of the University of Cincinnati’s acclaimed College-Conservatory of Music, is under fire from the college’s professors to the point that he could be replaced.
The committee representing more than 100 CCM professors has written to Provost Tony Perzigian, UC’s top academic officer, telling him that relations with Knehans “have reached an irreparable end.”
“No dean can function without the trust and respect of his faculty, and Douglas Knehans has neither,” said the Nov. 24 letter, obtained by The Enquirer under an Ohio Open Records Law request.
