The embattled president of California’s Sonoma State University has retired just days after making controversial concessions to end pro-Palestinian encampment on his campus.

The widely criticized deal, which Sonoma State University President Ming-Tung “Mike” Lee said was his unilateral decision, immediately drew rebuke from California State University system leaders, who accused him of “insubordination” and placed him on leave.
