BOSTON (Reuters) - Harvard University President Lawrence Summers resigned on Tuesday after a turbulent five years and the most public faculty rebellion against a Harvard president in the Ivy League school's 370 year history.
Summers, a former U.S. Treasury secretary under president Bill Clinton, will step down at the end of the 2005-06 academic year, Harvard said. Derek Bok, who led Harvard from 1971 to 1991, will be interim president from July 1. Summers will stay on as a professor.
