So, now there appears to be a bit of suspicion associated with the announcement that Texas Tech University System Chancellor Bob Duncan is retiring at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

The Tech Board of Regents voted 5-4 to seek “new leadership” in the chancellor’s office.<\/p>\n

That hardly constitutes a consensus. Still, Duncan decided to go after regents completed an executive session.<\/p>\n

Here is how AGN Media reported it.<\/a><\/p>\n

I am going to say a good word or two about the chancellor.<\/p>\n

First, he has done well by the university he has attended and represented in the Texas Legislature — and then led as its chancellor for the past four years. I am a big fan and supporter of this man who, while serving in the Texas Senate, emerged almost every legislation session as one of Texas Monthly’s top legislators.<\/p>\n

He has been an adamant proponent of the proposed Tech college of veterinary medicine planned for Amarillo. That’s a big deal, man!<\/p>\n

There reportedly have been reports of financial impropriety. Tech regents and administrators have pushed back on those reports. They say there’s nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

Still, the regents want “new leadership.” I believe the public deserves a more complete explanation of what they want, of what they expect and where Duncan fell short.<\/p>\n

They’ll need to make the case that the university needs a new man at the top of the administrative totem pole.<\/p>\n

I will continue to wish Chancellor Duncan all the very best and I’ll offer him, yet again, a word of thanks for the leadership he gave to a major Texas institution of higher education.<\/p>\n\n
