Linda Sheryl Greene, Michigan State University College of Law's inaugural dean, is set to step down at the end of the calendar year.

Greene, who became dean in June 2021 after overseeing the college's full integration into Michigan State University, will remain as faculty to focus on scholarship and her upcoming book, "Toward an Inclusive Constitutional Democracy: The Dissenting Opinions of Thurgood Marshall," which focuses on the jurisprudential legacy of the first Black U.S. Supreme Court justice, according to the school's announcement.
