Regents vote to close AIC
Current students will be allowed to finish; all faculty contracts will be honored
The Arizona Board of Regents voted overwhelmingly yesterday to approve the closure of the Arizona International College.
The move ratified University of Arizona President Peter Likins' request to close the five-year-old college to help counter $13.9 million in state-mandated budget cuts. However, students currently enrolled in AIC programs will be allowed to finish, and all faculty contracts - some of which last until 2006 - will be honored completely.
