WINONA, Minn. – The second of three finalists to be liberal arts dean at Winona State University withdrew her candidacy less than a week before scheduled campus interviews. Jennifer Deane is chair of social sciences at the University of Minnesota-Morris. Her departure, and that of Marshall Thompson of Northeastern University in Chicago, reduces the field to one: James Scott, director of a political science program at Texas Christian. The question now is yes or no on Scott. Would he be a be good fit and does he see it the same.
