Subra Suresh (right) announced Thursday that he is stepping down as president of Carnegie Mellon University, effective June 30. Suresh has been president for four years. In a letter, Suresh said, "My wife, Mary, and I have reflected on the long-term commitment needed to implement the university’s strategic plan, and we feel Carnegie Mellon would be best served now by a president who is ready to make that extended commitment to generating resources and guiding the university toward reaching these objectives."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted that Carnegie Mellon has a history of long-serving presidents, with tenures averaging just under 14 years, and Suresh's predecessor having served for 16 years.
