University of Arizona President Robert Robbins said that he will step down at the end of his contract.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — A powerful earthquake rocked the entire island of Taiwan early Wednesday, collapsing buildings in a southern city and creating a tsunami that washed ashore on southern Japanese islands.
Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in Taipei. But things quickly returned to normal in the capital, with children going to school and the morning commute appearing to be normal. The head of Taiwan's earthquake monitoring bureau, Wu Chien-fu, said effects were detected as far away as Kinmen, a Taiwanese-controlled island off the coast of China. Multiple aftershocks were felt in Taipei in the hour after the initial quake.The Japan Meteorological Agency forecast a tsunami of up to 3 meters for the southern Japanese island group of Okinawa. A wave of 30 centimeters was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck.
