The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Board of Regents<\/a> (BOR<\/abbr>) gave UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong> a passing grade and list of priorities for the coming year (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023) in his annual review at a BOR<\/abbr> special meeting on July 7, 2022.<\/p>\n

“I think we are generally pleased with the results of where we\u2019ve been and where we\u2019re going,” said BOR<\/abbr> Chair Randy Moore<\/strong> after he identified the challenges and accomplishments of the last year for the 10-campus UH<\/abbr> System under Lassner\u2019s leadership. Moore also noted the difficulty of the position responsible for the state\u2019s public higher education system with an estimated 45,000 students, 9,000 employees and $1 billion annual budget.<\/p>\n

“The challenge for the president is that the regents generally think the president of the university is moving too slowly, and the internal faculty and staff sometimes think the president is trying to move too fast,” Moore said. “So that\u2019s a balancing act.”<\/p>\n
