The University of Arkansas has rescinded its decision to hire Emily Sushi as the university's Law School dean less than a week after announcing she would begin as the new dean on July 1.

"After receiving feedback from key external stakeholders about the fit between Professor Suski and the university's vacancy, the university has decided to go a different direction in filling the vacancy," noted a statement. "University officials are very grateful for Professor Suski's interest in the position and continue to hold Professor Suski in high regard. We wish Professor Suski well as she moves forward with her career."
