SAN FRANCISCO — Constitutional law professor David Faigman has been appointed to lead UC-Hastings College of the Law as a search gets underway to permanently replace outgoing dean Frank Wu.
Wu, who was named dean in 2010, leaves the post in the middle of the academic year and just one year after his appointment was renewed through 2020. Faigman will assume the role of acting chancellor and dean Jan. 1. Faigman, who has worked at UC-Hastings since 1987, is a driving force behind several new programs—including the school’s one-year legal master’s degree for health sciences, business and tech professionals and a fellowship that places new graduates in public interest jobs. He moonlights at UC-San Francisco’s School of Medicine, co-teaching a course on landmark psychiatric cases, and helped launch a partnership with UCSF to support education and research at the intersection of law, science and health policy.
