Stanford University president to resign after board reviews decades-old research papers
Fox News
Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne has informed the student body and faculty that he will be resigning at the end of next month following an independent review.
Tessier-Lavigne, a neuroscientist who has been president for nearly seven years, admitted he should have been more diligent in seeking corrections and tightening controls at laboratories in the letter.
The resignation follows a review in December by the board of trustees amid allegations Tessier-Lavigne engaged in fraud and other unethical conduct related to research and papers that were published in 1999 and 2001 before he became Stanford president.
