Stanford President Resigns Over Research Controversy Spurred by Student Journalist's Reporting

Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne resigned after an investigation found errors in papers he authored.
The investigation was prompted by reporting from Stanford student Theo Baker on possible image manipulation.
While clearing Tessier-Lavigne of misconduct, the review highlighted poor oversight of his labs.
Tessier-Lavigne denies fraud but takes responsibility for work of lab members.
