Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s departure comes after accusations of possible manipulated research, first reported by freshman Theo Baker.
In a move that shook up the Bay Area, Silicon Valley and the world of science and education, Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne resigned Wednesday after months of scrutiny over accusations of possible manipulated research he oversaw as a neuroscientist. His departure comes after seven years as head of one of the world’s leading universities, and after eight months of determined reporting by an 18-year-old freshman.
