NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - One of the men who helped write the 9/11 Commission's report will be named dean of Rutgers Law School Friday.
The school's Board of Governors is expected to approve tenure for John Farmer Jr.
Farmer would succeed Stuart Deutsch on July 1. Deutsch has held the post since 1999 and the professor would return to the faculty.
Farmer was senior counsel to the commission that investigated the 9/11 attacks.
The 51-year-old Jersey City native worked in Gov. Christie Whitman's administration as assistant counsel and chief counsel before he was named Attorney General in 1999.
Farmer helped reform the New Jersey State Police following racial profiling incidents.
