Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs condemns ABOR; ‘enough needs to be enough’
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs called for an in-person meeting with the Arizona Board of Regents and University of Arizona senior leadership on Monday, Feb. 26, in response to discussions that took place at last week’s ABOR meeting.
Hobbs referenced conflicting accounts she received from the board regarding the acquisition of Ashford University (now UA Global Campus), an issue she has repeatedly brought up over the past few months.
Hobbs also referenced another major point of contention at the Feb. 22 ABOR meeting: the denouncement of the UA Faculty Senate by the board. After ABOR Chair Fred DuVal refuted Faculty Chair Leila Hudson’s accusations about his supposed conflict of interest, DuVal also said he had hired an attorney and would be seeking legal remedies.
This course of action angered Hobbs, who called the behavior of some members of the board and their attacks on UA faculty “appalling” and “unacceptable.”
“ABOR members attacking faculty, even going so far as threatening a lawsuit, is not leadership […]. I cannot be more clear: because of Chair Duval and the Board’s actions, university employees are going to lose their jobs. Attacking faculty is not, and never will be, the answer,” Hobbs’ statement read. “Instead of taking any accountability and guiding with a steady hand, ABOR is circling the wagons and announcing they are litigating personal grudges during Board meetings.”
In her Feb. 26 statement, Hobbs expressed a similar sense of urgency that has run through each of her prior declarations to ABOR. Just last month, Hobbs sent a letter to the board that read: “the situation cannot afford any future missteps. The plan ahead must be implemented with purpose and fidelity.”
Last week, the board sent a letter to the governor’s office that detailed the acquisition of Ashford, a response to one of the demands made in Hobbs’ Jan. letter. However, Hobbs seemed unhappy with this report, saying in her statement that “new facts have come to light that once again show the Arizona Board of Regents failed in their oversight role and highlight a university leadership that was clueless as to their own finances […]. ABOR has told conflicting stories to me, the press, and the public about the purchase of Ashford University.”
The governor’s statement concluded: “This lack of accountability and continued scapegoating can no longer continue. I am demanding an in-person meeting with ABOR leadership and President Robbins immediately where we will discuss next steps.”

The Washington Huskies saw one of their few remaining uncommitted targets in the 2027 class go elsewhere on Thursday afternoon when three-star cornerback Evan Mack announced his commitment to Jedd Fisch’s former program, the Arizona Wildcats.
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound product of Crean Lutheran High School in Southern California chose coach Brent Brennan’s team out of a final three that also included the Huskies and Arizona State, after official visits to all three programs.
After taking an unofficial visit to Seattle for spring practice in April, Mack took his first official visit, a trip to Arizona State, on May 1. Then, he returned to Montlake on June 5, before wrapping things up in Tucson on June 19, which made enough of an impact for the Wildcats to win the battle for his services.
As a junior, the nation’s No. 613 overall prospect and No. 64 cornerback, according to the 247Sports Composite, tallied 49 tackles, 10 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions, while showcasing the promising athleticism and ball skills that secondary coach John Richardson is looking for on the outside.
If he were to have chosen the Huskies, Mack, who has plenty of room to add weight to his frame for the physicality of the Big Ten, would’ve had a long route to the field. Behind projected starters Dylan Robinson and Emmanuel Karnley, who both have eligibility to return in 2027, Washington’s coaching staff is expecting a contribution from four-star freshman Rahsjon Duncan on the outside, while his classmate Jeron Jones and sophomore Elias Johnson both stood out during spring practice.
The Huskies currently have one commit at cornerback in three-star Maurice Williams; however, the Huskies also hold several projections to reel in coveted four-star IMG Academy product Censere Gaylord.
