A years-long feud between the president of the University of Texas’s flagship campus at Austin and the chancellor of the nine-school system could lead to the president’s ouster this week.
Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa’s demand that Bill Powers, who has served as Austin’s leader for eight years, resign will be taken up Thursday by the UT System Board of Regents, according to an agenda posted on the board’s website.
