Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, professor of History, will resign from the Faculty and remain in Washington as a Presidential adviser, the New York Times reported yesterday. Although Schlesinger said nothing, the Times attributed its information to "White House sources."
President Pusey's office yesterday would say only that Schlesinger has not submitted a resignation. There was no information as to whether or not Schlesinger has discussed the matter with Pusey.
A Faculty rule states that leaves may be given for one year, and that the period may be extended to two years in exceptional circumstances. After two years, however, a Faculty member must either return or resign.
Schlesinger's leave began in September, 1960, the Times said, but he will have to decide this month whether he will return, because the University is already planning its fall schedule.
The Times quoted Pierre Salinger, the President's press secretary, as saying that Kennedy had asked all appointees for "continuity of service" throughout his Administration.
Schlesinger has advised the President on Latin American affairs, disarmament, and civil defense planning, among other concerns.
