View Larger University of Minnesota President Bob Bruininks announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer.
Bruininks, who was named the Business Journal’s Executive of the Year in 2009, plans to undergo surgery on Feb. 1. He said his work schedule may be “somewhat limited” in February, but he expects to resume his regular schedule after a few weeks of recuperation.
“We are fortunate to have found it in its early stages, and my condition is highly treatable with an excellent prognosis for a quick and complete recovery,” Bruininks wrote in a letter to colleagues that was posted on his Web site.
Bruininks said he will continue to serve as the university’s president until June 2011, when he will transition back to a faculty position, as previously announced.
