Utah State Dean to Step Down
Utah State University College of Natural Resources Dean F.E. “Fee” Busby will step down from his position June 30, 2005. Busby, who has served as dean for the past six years, will resume teaching and research responsibilities in the college.
“I have enjoyed every day of my tenure as dean and I value my relationship with every faculty member, staff member, student, alum and friend of the College of Natural Resources,” said Busby. “Collectively, we are a very special group of people.”
Busby’s colleagues praised his efforts as dean of the college, which includes the academic departments of aquatic, watershed and earth resources; forest, range, and wildlife sciences; and environment and society.
“Fee Busby has led the College of Natural Resources through a reorganization process that has resulted in one of the most forward-looking programs of its kind in the country,” said Terry L. Sharik, head of the College’s Department of Environment and Society. “Similar schools are looking at Utah State’s program closely as they consider their own reorganizations.”
Provost Stan Albrecht said Busby has resolved difficult budget issues brought about by state funding constraints and successfully led the college through a comprehensive self-evaluation.
“We are greatly indebted to Fee for his vision, dedication, and sound fiscal responsibility,” said Albrecht.
The Provost’s Office will organize the search for Busby’s successor.
