The Nevada Board of Regents today sent a letter distancing themselves from incendiary and fictitious accusations made by Nevada State Higher Education Chancellor Jim Rogers in a recent newspaper editorial in the Nevada Appeal newspaper.

Governor Gibbons sent a letter to the Nevada Board of Regents vehemently protesting Chancellor Rogers’ false statements. Because it is imperative that the Governor’s Office and the Board of Regents work cooperatively for the benefit of all Nevadans during this economic crisis, and because Chancellor Rogers has focused all of his energy on personal attacks, Governor Gibbons has asked that the Board of Regents appoint a liaison to work with the Governor and the Legislature.
