Lawmakers, Observers React to Tense UT System Meeting
"But Alex Cranberg, a regent who voted in favor of further review, said that there are "numerous questions and concerns that are legitimate" regarding Burgdorf's findings. "As far as I’m concerned, even if I had confidence in the report, which I don’t," he said, "if another regent didn’t have confidence, I would vote to have another report done."
He added, "It may very well be the [external] report doesn’t change the conclusions, but there are very serious matters that cannot simply be dismissed as a witch hunt."
A "witch hunt" is exactly what state Rep. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, at the inaugural hearing of the joint select oversight committee on Tuesday, said the regents have been engaged in. Their alleged target: UT-Austin President Bill Powers, whose relationship with the board has been tense for the last two years."
