SAN FRANCISCO — UC-Hastings College of the Law’s acting Chancellor and Dean David Faigman will stay on in that role permanently.

Hastings’ board of directors unanimously voted to keep Faigman on after a search committee evaluated nearly 100 candidates. He replaces Frank Wu, who stepped down at the beginning of 2016, just one year after his appointment had been renewed through 2020. Faigman has been serving as interim dean since then.
