Dr. John “Skip” Williams, senior vice provost and vice president for health affairs, will leave the University at the end of the year, after sources said senior officials at the University pushed him out of his position, the Washington Post reported Tuesday night.

Williams said he is leaving GW because the University “no longer wants him in that position,” the Post reported. The Post, who quoted three anonymous sources within the medical school, said Williams “has hired an attorney and is negotiating an agreement.”

Williams is the second high-ranking medical school employee to resign from top positions at the University six months into to a review of the Medical School’s organizational structure. Medical School Dean James Scott announced he would be stepping down from his position just before the Thanksgiving break, but no one would go into detail regarding the move.

According to the Post, Scott was pressured to resign by “top university officials” or else “risk jeopardizing his severance package.”
