Stanford President Jordan resigns to become chancellor successor
Dr. Jordan resigns as president of Stanford University to accept creation of a chancellor post by the board of trustees, effective next Friday. John Caspar Branner will become president, a longtime Stanford geologist and former Indiana university professor, with Branner also serving as a bridge to Jordan’s era. The transition aims to free Jordan for world peace work while Branner, a Cornell graduate and longtime associate, steps into leadership.
