Ray Jayawardhana, an astrophysicist and provost of Johns Hopkins University, will become the next president of Caltech - one the nation's wealthiest and most elite universities - as it enters a second year of challenging terrain amid Trump administration cuts to scientific research. The campus' board of trustees announced the appointment Tuesday morning after a months-long search to replace President Thomas F. Rosenbaum, who said in April that he would step down.
