Len Jessup to leave UNLV for California school

UNLV President Len Jessup announced Tuesday that he is leaving UNLV for a school in California. Jessup will serve as president of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. The announcement came in a three-page letter to the campus community. “This is a bittersweet decision for both Kristi and me given the true love we have for UNLV and the enormous amount of love expressed over the past several weeks from thousands of colleagues and friends — both on and off campus,” Jessup said. His first day on the new job is July 1.
