In 1979 Levine moved to become Chairman of the Department of Microbiology at Stony Brook School of Medicine before moving back to Princeton in 1984. In 1998 Levine became the Robert and Harriet Heilbrunn Professor of Cancer Biology and President of Rockefeller University. While he was President of Rockefeller University, he opted to resign due to allegations that he had an inappropriate sexual encounter with a woman graduate student, under intoxication. According to the involved woman student, the encounter was consensual.〔.〕 In 2002 he moved to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and in 2004 added a joint appointment as Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnold J.
