DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Dr. Melvin Levine, who is facing lawsuits accusing him of molesting young boys during examinations, has resigned from the North Carolina institute he founded.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that the institute -- All Kinds of Minds -- worked to train teachers to help children with learning disabilities. The center was co-founded by financial services magnate Charles Schwab, who provided financing.
All Kinds of Minds has teacher-training contracts with two states and dozens of individual schools. Despite Levin's troubles, the center said it would continue its work.
"All Kinds of Minds was formed to create a venue and legacy for his work so the genius of this man wouldn't die with the individual," Mary-Dean Barringer, chief executive of the institute, told the Times. "Do I think we'll make it through without him? I do."
Levine, who voluntarily suspended his license to practice and is under investigation by the North Carolina Medical Board, has denied ever touching a patient sexually. No criminal charges have been filed against him.
