The vote came after the family of slain hydrology professor Thomas Meixner filed a $9 million damage claim against the Arizona Board of Regents.
“We call on the administration to demonstrate progress towards a comprehensive risk management system and accountability by specific personnel actions in the Senior Leadership Team, University of Arizona Police Department, Office of General Counsel and Dean of Students Office."
The University of Arizona Faculty Senate approved a vote of"no confidence" in university president Robert Robbins and his management team, denouncing them for lack of due diligence to ensure the safety of slain hydrology professor Thomas Meixner. Former grad student Murad Dervish allegedly shot and killed Mexiner in October. Dervish had been banned from campus after being accused a threatening behavior.
The claim is not a lawsuit. The Board of Regents has 60 days to reach an agreement with the Meixner family before the family can potentially go ahead with a suit. The Republic reported that Board of Regents Chair Lyndel Manson sent a letter of support for Robbins to the Faculty Senate chair.Phil Villarreal is the senior real-time editor for KGUN 9.
