Governor Katie Hobbs has appointed Lee Stein as the newest member of the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing body for the state's public universities.
Stein, a legal expert with degrees from both the University of Arizona (UA) and Arizona State University (ASU), fills the vacancy left by Regent Bob Herbold, who resigned in February due to health reasons. This marks Hobbs' third appointment to the board, following Elizabeth “Liz” Archuleta of Flagstaff, and student regents Jadyn Fisher and David Zaragoza.
The Arizona Board of Regents is responsible for overseeing Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona, playing a crucial role in the governance and strategic direction of these institutions.

Governor Katie Hobbs is really making some bold moves with her latest appointment to the Arizona Board of Regents. It's refreshing to see someone with Lee Stein's legal background and academic ties to both UA and ASU stepping into this role, as it feels like a strong step towards more inclusive and well-rounded decision-making for Arizona's public universities. Hobbs' focus on diversifying the board with appointments like Stein, Archuleta, Fisher, and Zaragoza sends a clear message about the value of different perspectives in higher education governance. I'm optimistic about the positive changes these new voices can bring to the strategic direction of our state universities.
