Century-old South Texas College of Law Houston's 11th President and Dean Michael F. Barry has announced he will not seek reappointment to his leadership role when his term ends next summer. Barry said he and his wife Lee made the decision together 'after much thought and prayer.' 'The decision on when to leave a leadership position is never easy, and this decision is bittersweet,' Barry said. 'For many reasons, however, my sense is this is the proper time. The law school is living its mission of diversity, opportunity, excellence, and service; is fiscally sound; is well-positioned for the next 100 years; and has strong board, faculty / academic dean, and administrative leadership.
