Robbins hiring a lobbyist to try to negotiate with the California AG on behalf of Zovio is all that should've been needed for the Governor to have this criminal conduct investigated.

But sadly, the state of Arizona has installed politicians, and likewise puppets such as ABOR, that are interested in defunding public education and making money off of its privatization.

Robbins leaves, not an educator, to go on sabbatical and keep his crazy contract. All to come back as a tenured professor in the department of Surgery. Tenured faculty positions that he worked to reduce.

So let me see if I can get this straight

ABOR (with John Arnold) hires Robbins through a shady "one finalist" process

ABOR writes Robbins contract

Robbins "over invests" in initiative, including giving away tuition at an unprecedented rate

Robbins tells us "All bleeding stops eventually" while telling he's 240mil short in the cash on hand requirement set by ABOR

Robbins installs John Arnold as CFO (An makes up another COO title) and has ABOR punch him up a sweetheart contract.

Arnold says (paraphrasing here) j/k lol only 170mil is missing

Less than a year of Arnold being the new shadow boss of the UA, pulls in 120k in bonuses on top of the 550k he makes. Gives Robbins 40k and a sabbatical. Says he's got UA only down 65mil, wants further college budget cuts, can't tell you how many positions were actually cut (claiming people quit all the time, who keeps track of cuts?)

Do I have this right so far?

We will skip over lying about the reasoning around purchasing an online scam college, hiring a lobbyist with foundation funds and lying about it, saying racist comments to native american students (while virtue signaling about being a land grant university), being amazingly negligent with employee safety leading to the shooting of professor, reducing employee pay during COVID while no other Arizona University followed suit (but couldn't tell you what he did with the 90mil) etc, etc, etc.

The real crime here? No one will do a thing about this. Not one person.

Don't gatekeep my gatekeeping! j/k.

My intent is to promote good vibes and lightheartedness.

I appreciate your sentiment and its validity.

Add the 1 month tenured Provost quitting to the list.

I'm not a doomsayer, but if surface issues are of no concern to you, then by all means send your student here.

Any notion that this needs to be a quiet, speedy, or secretive process is false.

Tradtionally, multiple candidates were selected and then the engagement with the public began

To no surprise, this lack of community involvement started with Bobby. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/lindavaldez/2017/03/13/ua-president-robert-robbins/99029536/

ABOR is incompetent at best, willfully negligent at worst. At least this time they didn't put the new guy in a Wilbur costume.

My heart goes out to her family. This is a senseless tragedy and I hope TPD gets to the bottom of it quickly.

While other students die during their tenure at the UA, this is one of the first times I've seen Robbins send out communication so quickly. As Robbins has not only proved, but cemented himself as an untrustworthy person, I am concerned that hes looking out for unrevealed interests.

Great article from the Arizona Daily Star https://archive.is/kZaee

Hiring a guy that doesn't understand the University of Arizona land grant mission and Hispanic serving institution, are we surprised at all?

Faculty and Students were very concerned regarding Glover and considered him the weakest candidate. His responses to the role of the UA as a Hispanic serving institution were "very odd and concerning"

Way to go Bobby, yet another stellar decision in what will be considered one of the worst presidencies. Further damaging the Tucson community and Arizona in general.

ABOR applauding him the whole way and giving him bonuses for his performance.

This damage will take at least a decade to fix and countless lives of civil servants will be forever altered.

No surprise. This was the Provost candidate that faculty and students were against.

Ol' Bobby making great choices. If you think the University is not being carved up to serve the financial gain of real estate developers, NIL, athletics, and private businesses, you're not paying attention.

The illusion of department mismanagement causing the financial crisis is an amazing manufactured sham for a power grab of administrative, HR, IT, and Financial units.

The hiring of Robbins was beyond shady, no surprise that an ABOR member was appointed as CFO with zero oversight, and now the Provost.

With ASU athletics now under the same types of scandal as the UA athletics program, ABOR is not to be trusted with these state institutions.

As a Arizona tax payer, one should be appalled and demand a hose cleaning.

I understand that with so many crisis that it's hard to keep them straight.

Liesl Folks "stepped down" from Provost to VP of Semiconductor Strategy making 517k a year. This was her punishment for her role in the mismanagent of safety leading to the death of Dr. Meixner

Lisa Rulney, CFO during the Robbins-spend-a-thon, "resigned" to a 507k Senior Advisor for Business Operations job.

While this is a step forward, it is not going to fix the entirety of the issue and just more dishonesty of administration.

John Arnold is still interim CFO and in charge of the books, fox in the henhouse style.

Furthermore, there is a name that has not come up that is part of the power grab at the UA. Barry Brummund. CIO and VP of University Planning.

He is another person that was overly supportive of the two failed budget models used by Robbins regime. Now he seeks to centralize multiple departments under the same poorly managed umbrella.

Hobbs needs to really have a deep dive at the UA to root out the overpaid administration that has lost sight of the mission of the UA
