The Arizona Board of Regents selected SP&A Executive Search to assist with the national search for the 23rd president of the University of Arizona.

Embattled UA President Robert Robbins announced he will resign at the end of his term or possibly sooner amid a school budget shortfall of about $175 million.

The firm helped to identify Northern Arizona University President Dr. José Luis Cruz Rivera in 2021 when the board undertook a national search.

“Hiring this firm is the next step in the search process. The firm has a long history of excellence in conducting searches for university presidents, including NAU President Cruz Rivera just three years ago,” ABOR Chair Cecilia Mata said.
