Oregon State University President F. King Alexander offered to resign from his position effective April 1 after a cascade of outrage from his role in Louisiana State University's sexual misconduct scandal.
The OSU Board of Trustees announced Alexander's offer during a specially called meeting on Tuesday before going into executive session to discuss whether to accept it.
“We know that rebuilding trust is no longer possible,” OSU board chair Rani Borkar said before the executive session.
Alexander was president of LSU from 2013 to 2019 during a time when the school systemically mishandled reports of sexual misconduct by students and by head football coach Les Miles, according to a report by law firm Husch Blackwell that was publicly released this month by LSU.

Alexander began his tenure at Oregon State University in 2020 and has denied any responsibility in the LSU scandal.
Oregon State trustees first met last Wednesday to discuss revelations that LSU systematically mishandled sexual misconduct complaints during Alexander’s time as head of the university. After a nearly seven-hour meeting, trustees voted to put him on probation rather than fire him.
But the decision only escalated anger within the Oregon State community at Alexander, whom they felt had not taken accountability for the failings at LSU.
Still not taking any responsibility for it...
quote:
The Faculty Senate issued a vote of no confidence last week, and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who appoints board members, also expressed her displeasure. Brown urged trustees to fire Alexander if he failed to uphold his ethical and legal responsibilities to protect students during his time at LSU.
quote:
Further fueling the fire was a letter by the chairman of the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors sent a letter to OSU’s board on Monday, saying that Alexander had not been truthful in his testimony at last week’s hearing.
Alexander had misled OSU about his willingness to be interviewed for an investigation into LSU’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations under his watch, LSU Board Chairman Robert Dampf wrote.

At a meeting still in progress Tuesday morning, Rani Borkar, chair of the OSU board of trustees, said an outpouring of sentiments from students, faculty and others have convinced the board it needed to make a change.

In the pursuit of truth, Husch Blackwell diligently collected information amounting to 2,500 documents totaling 75,000 pages and more than 60 interviews with LSU employees plus 27 community outreach interview sessions with 10 participants per session,” Dampf wrote.
“But they had only one and a half pages of responses from Dr. Alexander.”

When you were the guy at the top, it’s a bad look to point at the people who served under you as culprits.

OK, Let's say in 2013 F King Alexander fires Les Miles and announces the problem with sexual harassment that permeates the program. The same people who want to fire FKA now would have been LIVID and called for him to be run off from LSU.
But I guess when you are the at the top, you have to take the blame and cannot tell the truth about anyone else. Of course this guy handled this completely wrong. Never should have said the things he said about LA.

This makes me think he was part of the problem to begin with.
