Bard and Botstein are characterizing this as a "retirement" (he's 79), with all the usual long-time faculty/administrator retirement trappings, like remaining on the faculty and living on campus. I don't see how any successor president is meant to function while Bostein is still on campus. Following a fifty-year tenure would be a hard act under any circumstances. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/01/president-bard-college-resign-leon-botstein-jeffrey-epstein
