Who is the Dean of LSUHSC?

• A. Dr. Steve Nelson
• B. Dr. John Doe
• C. Dr. Demertrius Porche
• D. Dr. Jane Smith

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing who holds the top leadership role at a university health sciences center. The Dean is the chief administrator who oversees academic programs, curriculum, accreditation, faculty affairs, and partnerships with hospitals and other institutions.

Dr. Demertrius Porche is the person associated with that leadership position at LSUHSC, so this option best fits the role described by the question. The Dean’s position is distinct from other faculty or administrators, who may have important roles but do not hold the deanship. The other names are not recognized as the Dean of LSUHSC, so they don’t fit the question’s prompt.
