Stanford University (CA) announced Thursday that its 13th president will be Jonathan Levin, an economist and alumnus who has led the Stanford Graduate School of Business as dean for the last eight years. Levin will take the helm on Aug. 1, nearly a year after the resignation of Marc Tessier-Lavigne who was plagued by allegations of misconduct reported by a Stanford campus newspaper in 2022. The story spawned a months-long inquiry into his scholarly work. The investigation concluded that Tessier-Lavigne did not falsify data but failed to correct mistakes.
