After a long association with Yale University, noted Indian American
writer and journalist Fareed Zakaria has resigned from its governing
body to focus on his journalistic career, reports the Press Trust of India.
Zakaria, who received his bachelor degree from the university, has been associated with the Yale Corporation for the past six years. The decision of Zakaria to shed some of his non-journalistic responsibilities has come close on the heels of accusations of plagiarism against him. However, CNN and Time magazine have completed their probe into the matter and revoked their month-long suspension slapped on the writer.
“With great regret, I have decided that I will not be able to serve a second term as a successor fellow of Yale Corporation. I am re-examining my professional life and I have recognised that, in order to focus on the core of my work, I will have to shed some of my other responsibilities,” Zakaria informed Yale in his resignation letter, according to a university statement last Monday.
