FLAGSTAFF — The Arizona Board of Regents approved the UA’s budget proposal for the fiscal year of 2014, along with the requests for the two other state universities, in the board’s meeting on Thursday. The funding requested is intended to address a number of issues including building renewals, program improvements and the purchase of tangible resources like instruments for various research departments. The board also addressed a number of items on the consent agenda, which was primarily composed of employee contracts up for approval. The regents approved several contracts for a number of head coaches, many of whom also received raises. The regents also approved the appointment of Andrew Comrie as vice president of academic affairs and provost, who will serve in the position until July 1 of next year while the UA administration searches for a replacement.
