USC President Carol Folt to Retire

News summary

USC President Carol Folt announced she will retire at the end of the academic year on July 1, 2025, after a tenure marked by significant change and controversy. Folt's leadership since 2019 included pivotal hires in the athletics department, such as Lincoln Riley and Eric Musselman, as well as overseeing the university's transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten Conference. Her administration was also noted for extensive stadium renovations and addressing past scandals, including the admissions cheating scandal.
