U.S. Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Lubbock, and Texas Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, are in the running to be the next chancellor of the Texas Tech University System, according to four people with knowledge of the conversations.
The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents met Saturday to get an update on the search process and discuss “duties, assignments, and expectations” of the chancellor. Regents met behind closed doors for about four hours, then adjourned without taking any action.
