Board of Trustees President Milton Marks is recovering at home after having surgery on a brain tumor that was discovered after he suffered a seizure on December 8, 2010. Marks had surgery at UC San Francisco, which U.S. News ranked among their top 10 cancer treatment centers in the nation.
Chancellor Don Griffin relayed through an email that he had spoken to Marks’ wife, Abigail and that Marks is under excellent care.
Currently, Board of Trustees Vice President John Rizzo has been acting as president in Marks’ absence. He said he has kept in touch with Marks and is looking forward to his speedy recovery.
“He’s planning on coming back to work,” Rizzo said. “He’s a fighter. I fully expect he’ll be back. He’s got to get through these cancer treatments but I know he’s anxious to get back to work.”
