The University of West Los Angeles has selected Benjamin Bycel to be its new president beginning Tuesday.
A former dean at the Santa Barbara-Ventura Law School, Bycel, 55, has been in private practice, specializing in legal ethics and malpractice. He is the founding executive director of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission and has also taught ethics courses at Loyola Law School and USC.
“I was attracted to the university because of its strong commitment to providing quality education at moderate costs,” Bycel said. “I look forward to developing an innovative legal curriculum.”
Bycel replaces former President Ed Kormondy, who this week retired from the Inglewood university, which provides degrees in law and paralegal studies.
