The dean of Des Moines Universitys medical school has been forced out of the position by the universitys president. <\/p>\n
Dr. Kendall Reed was the medical-schools dean since 2003. <\/p>\n
Dr. Angela Franklin became the universitys president last year. When asked today about word that Reed was out as dean, the universitys spokeswoman replied in an e-mail: Yes, President Franklin made that administrative change last week. <\/p>\n
The spokeswoman said Reed remains a tenured professor in the medical school, which trains osteopathic physicians. She said Dr. David Plundo, who was already an associate dean, has been named acting dean. Franklin will conduct a search for a permanent replacement. The spokeswoman declined other comment on the situation. <\/p>\n
Reed, who is a surgeon, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n
