SENATOR SLAP ISSUES STATEMENT ON NEW INTERIM BOARD OF REGENTS CHAIR

“I applaud Gov. Lamont’s selection of Ari Santiago as the interim chair of the Board of Regents. I have known Ari for years and appreciate his commitment to public higher education and Connecticut’s workforce. He takes over at a crucial time for the Board of Regents. We desperately need strong leadership, guided by the highest ethical standards and focus on accountability. This is an opportunity to engage faculty, staff, and students to unite around the common goal of helping all students reach their potential.”

State Senator Derek Slap (D-West Hartford), Senate Chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee, on Governor Lamont’s appointment of Ari Santiago as interim chair of the CSCU Board of Regents on May 22.
