I don't know, as I can't find anything about it.
Usually, once a Chair it is not given up easily.

Chairmanships are like any other supervisory job where you are selected by upper management. Several layers exist in most Universities above department chairmanship.
This is an example of why it is so hard to exist as a skeptic. Skepticism is all about suggesting a subject has not been investigated thoroughly enough and can be fiscally damaging to the unlimited number of disciplines that are seeking funding for dealing with catastrophic warming. Damage an institutions source of funds either in appearance or in fact is going to have consequences.
Its clear thats what has happened here if it wasn't the choice of Curry herself. Officials are praising Curry's tenure as chairman.
