Former Stanford Dean Julie Lythcott-Haims Acknowledges Past Affair with Student

Lythcott-Haims publicly apologizes for the inappropriate relationship that led to her resignation from the university.

Julie Lythcott-Haims confirmed the affair after the former student published an essay detailing their relationship.
The relationship occurred while Lythcott-Haims was a dean at Stanford University over a decade ago.
Lythcott-Haims stated she was not in a position of authority over the student's academic status.
The affair ended after the student's parents reported it to Stanford officials, prompting Lythcott-Haims' resignation.
Stanford University has since updated its policies to prohibit such relationships between staff and students.
