Letter: UA president search should be already underway

Re: the June 11 article “Hart to leave top UA post but not university.”

The University of Arizona, a Research One university, deserves to be led by a president of the highest order. Its faculty and staff often are at the forefront of the nation’s academic and leadership initiatives, and the Arizona Board of Regents must pursue the most aggressive steps in finding a president who will bring the expertise and the record of previous achievement to this university.
