Dr. Stoll's resignation from TCOM Dean Search Committee

The following letter by Scott Stoll,DO, PhD August 9, 2009

I would like to resign my position as Co-Chairman of the TCOM Dean Search Committee and terminate any further service to this committee effective immediately. As you know, I became profoundly disappointed by a series of deceptive communications and actions put forth by the top administration at UNTHSC in the late fall of 2008. I found this lack of leadership integrity to be tremendously damaging to this institution I accepted this position in January of 2009 as a sign of my good faith and hope for an improvement in the integrity of UNTHSC top leadership. I have continued service to this committee despite an ongoing lack of acknowledgement by this leadership of any wrongdoing or any evidence of contrition. Unfortunately, this president continues to manipulate the truth as a means to his own ends. This leadership method has persisted and has been refined to the point that I cannot in good conscience continue service to this important TCOM Dean Search Committee as I believe my participation in this selection process in part facilitates the deceptions.
