The Arizona Board of Regents has formally approved University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins’ 10% pay cut and elected its new chair.

Robbins’ new base salary has been reduced from $816,008 to $734,407. His individual annual and multiple-year at-risk compensation goals have also been eliminated. Those had potential values of an additional $150,000 and $120,000, respectively.

Talking to Longhorned was incredibly illuminating. He’s on the faculty senate and has been privy to a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that I’m not sure I can mention here, so I’ll let him tell it if he chooses to if/when he returns to the board.

I’ll just say that Robbins has burned all the bridges.

Is that just by jettisoning Robby Bobbins?

Withholding grades from students who earned those grades and supported faculty salaries by choosing the U of A and paying tuition? Please fire them now.

That doesn't make any sense, hurt the students to get back at the administration? Those grades are needed for employment, scholarships and so on.

I imagine "some professors" are actually "very few professors".

Note it is very difficult to fire tenured professors, although it can be done. For example, one professor at the school I worked at brought his laptop to the service desk to get it worked on. The tech found child porn on it. Needless to say, he was gone very quickly.

Withholding grades?

That’s an easy way to help the admin. Shitcanning for cause will save them a lot of dough.

Sounds to me more like they are MAGAs trying to punish students for daring to protest the Palestinian War.
