(CORVALLIS, Ore.) — Oregon State University president F. King Alexander has submitted his resignation, effective April 1 if accepted, over his role in a sexual misconduct scandal at Louisiana State University.

Alexander had been placed on probation last week after an independent investigation released earlier this month into alleged sexual misconduct at LSU. The report found a “serious institutional failure,” and detailed the school’s shortcomings when it came to reporting incidents of athletics-related sexual misconduct and abuse.
