The position has been vacant since Brian Dominguez resigned from the post in October of last year. Since then, Travis Apgar, who is associate dean of students and senior judicial administrator, has also served as acting dean for greek life.

Dean of Students Mark Smith said the goal was to begin the search for a new greek dean around the beginning of the new calendar year, but a vacancy management policy prevented them from moving forward—without a special waiver being granted—before the start of the next fiscal year on July 1.

Last month, the Student Senate passed a resolution urging the administration to begin the search. Additionally, the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council supported the waiver requested by the Dean of Students Office to begin the search prior to July 1. With this special authorization now granted, the search can proceed.
