At 9:02 a.m. this morning, SF State President Leslie Wong announced that he is leaving his position. Seated next to his wife, Wong announced in a four-and-a-half minute video that he would be “stepping down” from his position on July 30, 2019. SF State University confirmed that Wong is retiring. He did not explain the reason for his departure.

    Is he retiring or quitting? If he’s retiring, why didn’t just say that in the video. “Stepping down” sounds like quitting instead of retiring. I liked him. I wish VP Hong would quit instead.
