Jonathan Levin, Stanford's business school dean, will take office on August 1, succeeding interim president Richard Saller.

Jonathan Levin, currently the dean of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, has been named the new president of Stanford University, taking office on August 1.
Levin replaces Richard Saller, who served as interim president following Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s resignation amid an academic misconduct investigation.
Levin, a Stanford alumnus and economist, has been part of Stanford's faculty since 2000 and has received numerous accolades, including the John Bates Clark Medal.
Concerns have been raised about the continuation of appointing white males to the presidency, with some students calling for more diversity in leadership positions.
Levin aims to strengthen Stanford's commitment to academic excellence, freedom, and foster principles of openness, curiosity, and mutual respect.
