Jeanne T. Lupton, professor emeritus and former dean of the University of Minnesota’s General College (now Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning), died peacefully on Aug. 16 at the age of 90 at her home in College Station, Texas. Lupton was dean from 1979 to 1986. During her tenure at the University, she also held positions as associate dean of student affairs and as special assistant to the president.

As an administrator, Lupton was a strong proponent for disenfranchised students, and she worked tirelessly on behalf of all students.
