Sherman Bloomer has been removed as chancellor and dean of OSU-Cascades after information surfaced during an ongoing university investigation.

The probe began March 18 following a complaint and is being conducted by OSU’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Access with outside assistance. University officials have not disclosed details about the investigation, citing privacy concerns.

OSU students and staff were notified of Bloomer’s dismissal Tuesday.

Dr. Becky Johnson will serve as interim chancellor and dean.

Bloomer became chancellor and dean at the Bend campus in 2023.
