Patrick Lloyd was dean of the University of Minnesota’s School of Dentistry from 2004 to July 2011. He left the University to become dean at the Ohio State University’s College of Dentistry.
When the School of Dentistry brought 20 DentSims to the University, it characterized them as something that would revolutionize learning. But the lab is vacant 85 percent of the time, and some say the product doesn't match the publicity.
As the search for a permanent dean continues, faculty sources have called out current and past administrators and are waiting to see if their voices will be heard.
