Kevin Shollenberger was the Dean of Student Affairs for Columbia College and SEAS and Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Student Life. He worked in an associate role in the Division of Student Affairs for nine years before being appointed dean. He's commonly known as Ke$ho, a nickname coined in V117.
Shollenberger was appointed Dean in the fall of 2008, with the expectation that his tenure would last about two years, after which point he'd be succeeded by a dean selected by the new deans of Columbia College (Moody-Adams) and SEAS (Peña-Mora), who had not yet been selected at the time.[1]. Shollenberger was fairly popular and held the position until May 31, 2013 when he stepped down to take a position as Vice Provost for Student Affairs at Johns Hopkins University[2].
Controversies
Dean's Selection Committee
After the resignation of Michelle Moody-Adams as Dean of Columbia College, a search committee was formed to make a recommendation for a permanent dean. President Bollinger appointed two students for the search committee, J.T. Ramseur CC '13 and Mary Kircher CC '13.
The Spectator subsequently published an op/ed by CCSC president Aki Terasaki CC ’12, former Student Governing Board chair Barry Weinberg CC ’12 and University Senators Alex Frouman CC ’12, and Kenny Durell CC ’12 that criticized the lack of elected student leaders on the committee. The students wrote “At no point were members of the Columbia College Student Council given notice that a search committee was being formed, much less asked which students should sit on that committee—two actions that, had they been taken, would have encouraged open communication and collaboration between students and administrators rather than confrontation." [3]
As a result, Shollenberger appointed CCSC president-elect Karishma Habbu CC '12 to the search committee in addition to Ramseur and Kircher [4].
