my post countttttt :p</p>

<p>does anyone know why Mr. Lehman resigned after two years? in 2003-2005</p>

<p>On June 11, 2005, Lehman announced that he would be resigning from the presidency effective June 30, citing irreconcilable differences with the Cornell Board of Trustees—an announcement that came as a surprise to most of the Cornell community and to outsiders. Lehman's tenure was by far the shortest of any Cornell President. Upon his departure, Lehman's immediate predecessor, Hunter Rawlings, reassumed the Cornell Presidency on an interim basis.</p>
