Kavajecz, the 17th dean of the Whitman School, had served in the role since coming to Syracuse in July 2013, according to his biography page on the Whitman School website. He also instructed students as a professor of finance.
Wheatly said that J. Michael Haynie, vice chancellor and a tenured faculty member in the Whitman School, will lead the school “during this time of transition.”
