Statement regarding resignation of Frank L. Douglas

MIT deeply regrets Professor Douglas' intention to leave the Institute. He is a valued member of the MIT community, and has been a visionary leader of the CBI, since he joined MIT as Professor of the Practice more than two years ago. We believe his decision is based on inaccurate information, and we sincerely hope that, once the facts are clarified, he will reconsider his decision.
