Provost Brent Carbajal will be appointing an interim dean with the goal of having them appointed before the end of the year, according to Western Today.
Mallinckrodt will become a psychology faculty member at Western, according to Western Today.
No reason has yet been given for this change.
In July, the Front reported that the history department passed a resolution of no confidence in the dean's ability to fulfill his role. The vote stemmed from concerns including a perceived lack of support for diversity in the college, among others.
