SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – The woman who was instrumental in bringing a medical school to Washington State University’s Spokane campus, is stepping down as chancellor of the branch.

Lisa Brown has spent the past four years leading the Spokane campus, and says she will step down in August.

As a state legislator, Brown played a key role in bringing the new medical school in Spokane.

The state’s second public medical school received preliminary accreditation last October.

The inaugural class of 60 medical students will begin studies in August.
