"I also want to be clear that I take responsibility for any concerns that arise with respect to any work with which I have been involved."
Take responsibility for any concerns? I don't really know what that means.
Taking responsibility to me would mean more than releasing a BS press release with vague denials of wrongdoing. In fact, it doesn't seem he acknowledges anything is wrong, just that he corresponded with some editors about some concerns. No explanation for how so many of his papers, including the senior author ones, ended up with falsified data.
"In closing, I regret the impact these events are having on the university."
Then you should resign!
