The University of Texas System Board of Regents has initiated a search for a successor to the Honorable Mark G. Yudof who steps down as Chancellor on May 1, 2008. The goal of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System is to conduct an open, inclusive, and thorough search process, consistent with the traditions of excellence in the U. T. System and the prominent role of the System in higher education.

U. T. System Board Chairman H. Scott Caven, Jr. discusses the Chancellor search in a column published in the September/ October 2008 issue of Trusteeship.

In July 2006, U. T. System Board of Regents' Chairman James R. Huffines created the Brackenridge Tract Task Force and charged its members to review and identify facts and issues that impact use of the land, identify alternatives, and make recommenda-

tions concerning the Tract. Larry E. Temple, Chairman of the Task Force, presented the findings and recommendations on October 12, 2007 in a public meeting in the Board Room. With the submission of the report, the Task Force was discharged.

Current information on the Brackenridge Tract is available at http://www.utsystem.edu/reo.
