He is married to Maria Echaveste, former deputy chief of staff for U.S. President Bill Clinton. On August 16, 2013, he announced his intention to resign as dean, effective December 31, 2013.
He served as an advisor to President Clinton's One America Initiative, was a member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, and chaired President Clinton's 1998 Affirmative Action Review.
