Yale University President to Resign


The president of Yale University, Richard Levine, is to resign

“It is a source of great satisfaction to leave Yale in much stronger condition – academically, physically, and financially – than it was when I began in 1993,” Levine wrote, noting that the school has been his life since he and his wife, Jane, entered graduate school there in 1970. Having said that, the approach of his 20th anniversary as president seems to signal “a natural time for a transition,” he continued.

The Yale School of Management (SOM) has been under new leadership since Dean Ed Snyder joined from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in July 2011. 

“Our faculty is stronger than ever, and our deans and directors all have clear and ambitious agendas that will keep the University moving forward,” Levine said in his farewell address.

A sucessor for President Levine has not yet been named.
