ABOR prepares for year with budget cuts, advocates for students - Chastity Laskey, Daily Wildcat

Gov. Doug Ducey asked the board to deliver “a sustainable, long-term business plan that addresses the needs of students and the business community that depends on their success.” This was after the passage of the legislative budget that cut $99 million from the three in-state universities. “This should be a plan that policymakers and elected leaders, starting with myself, can support, take to the public, advocate for and implement,” Ducey said at the April board meeting. The EEC is comprised of Eileen Klein, board president of the board of regents, as well as the presidents of ASU, NAU, UA and ABOR. http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/08/abor-prepares-for-year-with-budget-cuts-advocates-for-students
