The New Excuse

This really raises the bar for alleged justifications for retirement:

Robert C. Dynes, who announced Monday that he'd step down as president of the 10-campus University of California system next June, said he wanted to resolve a controversy over top administrators' pay before making the decision. He said he would refocus on superconductivity research after spending five years as president.

I'll take that over "spending more time with my family" any day.
