BOULDER —Sharon F. Matusik has been appointed the interim dean of the University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business and will begin the job in January, the university announced on Monday.

Matusik will replace economist William Kaempfer, senior vice provost and associate vice chancellor for budget and planning, who has served as interim dean of the business school for the past two months.

Kaempfer replaced David Ikenberry who resigned in August following accusations about Ikenberry’s treatment of women in the school and a report by the Daily Camera that he’d faced three gender-discrimination lawsuits in recent years.
