University of Michigan's Incoming President Declines Position Due to Brain Cancer Diagnosis
Kent Syverud, who was set to become the next president of the University of Michigan, has announced that he will not be taking the position due to a recent diagnosis of brain cancer. Syverud, currently the chancellor at Syracuse University, revealed that he began feeling unwell last week and subsequently received the diagnosis. He is undergoing treatment at the University of Michigan. Despite stepping down from the presidential role, Syverud will remain involved with the university as a professor at the law school and an adviser to the Board of Regents. The University of Michigan's interim president, Domenico Grasso, will continue in his role while the search for a new president is conducted.
