SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KRON) – Santa Clara University University President Rev. Kevin O’Brien has resined amid misconduct allegations.
O’Brien notified the Santa Clara University board of trustees of his resignation as president on May 9, which the board of trustees accepted on May 10.

O’Brien allegedly “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,” according to a March statement by John M. Sobrato, the board chairman.
O’Brien gave the service at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, one of the most prominent Catholic churches in Washington, in January for Biden, who is the nation’s second Catholic president, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, their families and elected officials before the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, as well as various other services while Biden was vice president.
