Morse Tan Steps Down As Liberty Law School Dean After 2 1/2 Years; Tax Prof Tim Todd Named Interim Dean

Liberty University Names Morse Tan Senior Executive Director of Center for Law & Government:

The Center for Law & Government in Liberty University’s Helms School of Government was established as a training ground for tomorrow’s leaders to learn how to engage the culture and impact law and policy in America. The center has become an arena for thought and debate as it provides opportunities for faculty and students in research, analysis, and the formation of sound conservative policy at all levels of government.

Liberty has announced that Morse Tan, former Ambassador at Large for the U.S. State Department’s Office of Global Criminal Justice, has been named the center’s Senior Executive Director, beginning July 1. Tan previously served as co-chair of the center, alongside Joel Cox, interim dean of the Helms School of Government. ...

Tan has been serving as dean of the School of Law since Jan. 1, 2022, and will be leaving that role to serve in the center. Tim Todd, Ph.D., will serve as interim dean.

Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Scott Hicks shared, “We are grateful for the dedicated service and impact that Dean Tan and the entire School of Law team have made in positioning the school to garner some of the highest rankings in its history.” He added, “We are excited that Dean Tan will be able to expand on the positive impacts he has made beyond the law school to benefit the broader university.”
