Rutgers University President Richard L. McCormick
\n admitted Sunday he had an affair with a woman in the University of Washington’s
\n administration while he was president there and that the rumored romance
\n was one of several factors for his departure. <\/p>\n

"Today I want to express publicly my deep shame and
\n regret at the grave personal mistake I made while serving as president
\n of the University of Washington," Dr. McCormick told a news conference
\n at the main Rutgers campus in New Brunswick. "I regret the embarrassment
\n these actions may bring upon the community of Rutgers and the University
\n of Washington." <\/p>\n

Dr. McCormick said only that the woman was not a student
\n and had received no "benefits" from the relationship.\n <\/p>\n

The BU Community thanks Dr. McCormick<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
