EDS Dean To Resign In May; Consider Merger For Financial Reasons

From the Living Church:

In his resignation letter, Bishop Charleston also revealed that EDS is considering a partnership with Lesley University. The school, which was founded in 1909, reports a $90-million annual budget and 12,344 students, of whom 1,702 are undergraduates. Lesley University has more than 150 campus locations, including Cambridge and Boston.

“The potential partnership with Lesley University is designed to anchor the financial foundation of EDS while releasing our creative energy as never before and positioning EDS to grow in vital areas like faculty development, student financial support, learning technologies, and community life,” Bishop Charleston said.
