TUCSON, Ariz. — As the University of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents continue to sort through the UA's $177 million deficit, the governor is demanding an in-person meeting with ABOR and university President Dr. Robert Robbins.
The governor also referenced in-fighting between ABOR Chair Fred Duval and Faculty Chair Leila Hudson last week, in which Hudson suggested DuVal has a potential conflict of interest due to past employment at a company that provided financial services to universities. He responded by saying he had retained a lawyer.
“ABOR takes seriously its constitutional duty to oversee each of our state’s public universities. The Board and Governor have a shared interest in seeing UArizona succeed, and that will require working together to help resolve the important issues facing this great university.” FULL STATEMENT FROM GOV. KATIE HOBBS:
