The University of Texas System Board of Regents yesterday named Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, former UT Health Sciences Center at San Antonio president, the sole finalist to lead the state's largest system of public universities.
Today, state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, in a press release, gave the incoming chancellor his seal of approval, too:
"Dr. Cigarroa is a great choice," Shapleigh said. "As a medical school president, he understands the value of education. More than any other system, the UT system must deliver value for education dollars in order for Texas to succeed. Most of the growth in Texas' college graduates will be among Hispanic students and he has a wealth of experience in providing that education."
