This Is Long Overdue

Betsy Hoffman, the embattled president of the University of Colorado, said today she is resigning her post.

Hoffman's announcement comes as Colorado's flagship university faces mounting pressure over alleged use of sex, alcohol and drugs in its recruiting of football players.

Hoffman also has been embroiled in a controversy over Ward Churchill, an ethnic studies professor who wrote an essay comparing some victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to a Nazi leader.

Hoffman, who has served as CU president for five years, submitted a letter of resignation today to the CU Board of Regents.
