Dean Peterson

Dean Bobby Peterson, voiced by Hank Azaria, is the dean of Springfield University in "Homer Goes to College". Homer is sent to college and having seen too many bad Animal House rip-off movies like School of Hard Knockers, he believes the school is run by a crusty old dean. Dean Peterson however turns out to be a nice friendly guy but Homer still believes he is at war with him. Dean Peterson is forced to expel Homer's tutors Doug, Benjamin, and Gary and Homer tries to get them back into school by helping them save the Dean's life. The plan is for Doug, Benjamin and Gary to push the Dean out of the way of Homer's car, but the plan backfires and the Dean is run over. In the end, Dean Peterson decides to allow Benjamin, Doug and Gary back into the school anyway.

He later appeared in Hurricane Neddy, where he is present at a man's execution.

He appeared again in "Faith Off", but his physical appearance in the episode was different.
