University of California President to Retire After Eight Years
BERKELEY, Calif.
The University of California is looking for a new leader following the resignation of Dr. Richard C. Atkinson.
Atkinson, 73, announced last month he will be retiring next October after serving for eight years, three years longer than he initially planned and longer than all but four of UC’s 17 presidents. “I think I am due,” says Atkinson, who says he wants his grandchildren to “see more of their grandfather.”
