During a special meeting on March 7, the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing body that oversees all three state-run universities, called on Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University to rid themselves of all Russian assets.
Russian assets were also excluded from the ABOR retirement plan, according to a news release.
“The Arizona Board of Regents condemns in the strongest possible terms Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine and apparent targeting of civilian populations, with one million refugees already in its wake,” said ABOR Chair Lyndel Manson. “With today’s action, the board repudiates Putin’s aggression and ensures Arizona’s public university enterprise divests of any Russian assets.”
