Bill Powers Under Pressure To Resign As University Of Texas President

UT President William Powers – the former dean of Texas Law – has had a challenging tenure as the head of the university.  Recently, the law school has come under harsh scrutiny over the question of whether the school has admitted less qualified applicants for political reasons.  Now, according to reports, the University system chancellor, Francisco Cigarroa,  has told Powers to resign by next Thursday or face firing by the Board of Regents.
