TUCSON, Ariz. — As the University of Arizona works to dig out of a $177 million deficit, the university’s Faculty Senate and the Arizona Board of Regents are now in a bitter back-and-forth that escalated this week.During Monday’s Faculty Senate meeting, UArizona Faculty Chair Leila Hudson suggested ABOR Chair Fred DuVal had a potential conflict of interest in his role.
DuVal insisted neither the job nor the timing led to a conflict of interest, calling that claim “intentional defamation.” He said he has retained a lawyer and will “pursue legal remedies.”DuVal then delivered his own criticism of Hudson. DuVal added that the UA faculty has important, legitimate concerns, and he will respond to every call or email.
“We’re frankly unsure of how representative this body is of the greater faculty at U of A,” she said during the meeting. “Most view as a monumental waste of time and energy. Watching this senate try to run a meeting is an exercise in futility. It is embarrassing, the level of dysfunction on display, and the lack of any productive recommendations or outcomes.”
