[CED/CD/EAT] FW: Opinion Article

[Martin, Edward C - (ecmartin)]

Dear Directors,

Here is an article Dominic picked up on.

Share if you like, but it does mention Cooperative Extension. The author does not have an Extension appointment but is a faculty Senator. We are having an internal impact.

I look forward to seeing you all next week.

Interesting read.  Extension is mentioned as well as how the University froze our State-appropriated funding.

University of Arizona's problems are too deep to fix quickly | Opinion<https://www.yahoo.com/news/university-arizonas-problems-too-deep-132558571.html>
University of Arizona is adrift after years of weak leadership, often making decisions quickly and without accountability. That will take time to fix.
