San Diego State University's president announced Tuesday that he would 
retire  at the end of the academic year. 
Stephen L. Weber, 67, made the announcement in _a video_ 
(http://newscenter.sdsu.edu/transition/)  posted on the  university's website. 
"This will be my last year as your president," he said. "Over the past 14  
years, we have accomplished truly amazing things together; and you –- the 
people  of San Diego State -– are the reason the future of this university is 
brighter  than ever." 
Weber, the university's seventh president, has been at the helm since 1996. 
 His retirement, planned for three years, will be effective July 5, 2011. 
During his tenure, Weber is credited with overseeing a sharp rise in 
private  donations, an increase in graduation rates and expanded PhD programs in 
fields  like evolutionary biology, geophysics and education. In recent years, 
however,  the campus has been forced to reduce enrollment to save  money.
