AUSTIN (AP) — University of Texas at Austin President Bill Powers may finally learn whether he’ll continue to run one of the nation’s largest campuses following a tumultuous two years of power struggles and speculation that his job is in jeopardy.
The UT System Board of Regents on Thursday is scheduled to discuss an unspecified “recommendation” about the employment of Powers. He is popular on the campus that he’s led since 2006, but his vision for higher education has clashed with some regents and Gov. Rick Perry.
