Brown University President Christina Paxson to Resign After 15 Years
Brown University President Christina Paxson announced she will step down at the end of the academic year after 15 years in office. Her tenure saw significant expansions in research, public health education, and community partnerships, alongside challenges including federal funding disputes with the Trump administration, student protests related to Israel, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a fatal campus shooting. Paxson extended her term to address a federal funding freeze and declined a 2023 administration offer that she said would restrict academic freedom.
