Larry Hufford, the dean of the University of Montanaâs College of Humanities and Sciences, unexpectedly stepped down from his position on March 2 to take on a faculty role.Â
The University must begin a search for a new interim dean to fill Huffordâs role as the now-former dean takes on teaching. But administrators and faculty have differing messages regarding the deanâs unexpected announcement. Â
Hufford is the second dean to step down from the position in the last three years amidst budget cuts and calls for reorganization within the College of Humanities and Sciences, said Kyle Volk, the head of UMâs history department.Â

Daily Montanan reports the university is considering a $2.5 million dollar cut to the College of Humanities and Sciences. Hufford told colleagues in an email that UM’s ‘budget environment’ prompted his resignation.
The College of Humanities and Sciences has seen budget cuts totaling nearly 25% over five years. UM spokesperson Dave Kuntz said the administration has a new budget allocation process to better respond to student interests, and that the College of Humanities and Sciences will always be one of UM’s foundational cornerstones.
“But there are trends that are real, and we need to make sure that our budgets are allocated to ensure that we re putting money where there s growth and ensuring that those tradeoffs are appropriate, Kuntz said.
