Seems weird. The former chair is still there. There are a number of faculty. It's not like it's a 5 faculty member department. Instead, the interim chair is also the chairman of the Department of Surgery. Ophthalmology is a separate department, not a surgery division, and has been that way either forever or the last 40 years.
The official explanation is " At the present time, I am the interim chair of Ophthalmology while we re-structure the department. After completion of the re-structuring, McGovern Medical School plans to have a national search for a new chair. "
What does this mean? What is re-structuring? Taking away their money and giving it to the medical school in general?
Disclaimer: I have never trained in that department or went to medical school there. No beef with them.
