Dr. Carol L. Folt announced her retirement from U.S.C. next summer, concluding a tumultuous tenure marked by scandals and recent protests related to the Gaza conflict.
Her tenure, starting in 2019, was aimed at reforming a scandal-ridden university and included ambitious plans like investing $1 billion in computing.
Despite some successes, Folt's presidency saw significant dissent among faculty, culminating in a censure vote as the university faced criticism over its response to campus unrest.
Folt indicated she looks forward to 'embracing the freedom that comes with a next big leap,' planning to stay involved at U.S.C. as a faculty member.
