Daniel Rodriguez will step down as dean of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law at the end of the academic year after more than six years, the school announced Tuesday.

Rodriguez is among the most prominent law deans in the nation, having served as the president of the Association of American Law Schools in 2014, frequently commenting on legal education matters in the media, and experimenting with new programs at the law school in Chicago.

Rodriguez was involved in Northwestern's recent decision to start accepting GRE scores in addition to LSAT scores from applicants for the fall 2019 admissions cycle—joining just a handful of other law schools embracing the alternative exam.
