Wendell Pritchett, one of Mayor Nutter's most senior advisers and director of the city office of Research, Planning, and Policy could be headed for a new job. 
Pritchett is one of three finalists vying to become Dean of Temple's Beasley School of Law. Prior to joining the Nutter administration, Pritchett was a professor and associate dean at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He was educated at Brown and Yale, and his scholarly focus has been on urban policy, so it's easy to see why Temple is interested in Pritchett. The other finalists include a professor at the University of Connecticut, and long-time Temple associate dean JoAnne Epps.
UPDATE: Pritchett declined to comment until the dean selection is finalized.
