UT regents face scrutiny over flap with president

By Patricia Kilday Hart | February 19, 2013

AUSTIN - Controversy over the relationship between embattledUniversity of Texas President William Powers and the school's board of regents continued to percolate Tuesday as Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst repeated his call for an investigation by lawmakers, while the House Higher Education chairman asked for a legal briefing on whether appointed regents can be impeached or recalled.
........................................

Seliger said if the regents are unhappy with Powers, they should act.
"They can fire him and hire somebody else, that is their responsibility," he said. "But simply making things tough, or letting allegations develop, is irresponsible. It's not a way to treat your employees, either."
