Francisco Cigarroa, president of the UT Health Science Center, has been named the sole finalist for chancellor of the University of Texas System, the state's largest and most prestigious network of colleges.
The UT Board of Regents unanimously approved the choice after meeting for several hours in a closed, executive session. The only other candidate for the job was AT&T executive John Montford, a former state senator from Lubbock and former chancellor of the Texas Tech University System from 1996 to 2001.
