"U of A President Robert C. Robbins Resigns"

University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins has announced his resignation, effective at the end of his term in 2026, but he is open to stepping down earlier if a successor is chosen by the Arizona Board of Regents. The decision comes amid criticism over the university's $177 million deficit. The board plans to initiate a national search for the next president and has already approved a 10% cut in Robbins' base salary to aid with the university's financial action plan.
