STATEMENT FROM
THE TEXAS A&M BOARD OF REGENTS NAMING JOHN SHARP
THE SOLE FINALIST FOR CHANCELLOR
"I congratulate the Honorable John Sharp on being selected as the sole finalist for Chancellor of the Texas A&M University System. John has a long history of service to the university and the state dating back to his days as an A&M student body president. He showed his commitment to transparency in government as our State Comptroller of Public Accounts with the creation of the Texas Window on State Government, and more recently, his willingness to reach across party lines as the Chairman of the Texas Tax Reform Commission. Once the waiting period is concluded, I look forward to working with him, and better understanding his vision for one of our state's most prestigious higher education systems."
