Changes

Reports by the ''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal'' contend that the regents in a 5-4 vote expressed "No confidence" in Duncan continuing as the chancellor. Speculation persists that his unfavorable evaluation came from fallout over his plan to build a second state [[Veterinarian|veterinary]] medical school in Amarillo. The existing veterinary school is at [[Texas A&M University]] in College Station, which opposes building a second such facility. Republican Governor [[Greg Abbott]] denied rumors that he was behind the regents' decision to give Duncan a "No confidence" vote.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/20180815/abbott-denies-rumors-of-involvement-in-texas-tech-chancellor-duncans-retirement|title=Abbott denies rumors of involvement in Texas Tech Chancellor Duncan's retirement|publisher=''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''|date=August 15, 2018|author=Matt Dotray|accessdate=August 17, 2018}}</ref>

Meanwhile state Repesentative Sarah Davis, a Moderate Republican from the Houston area, said there is insufficient information for her House General Investigating & Ethics Committee to conduct a probe into why Duncan resigned as chancellor. Davis said that she will continue to monitor developments in the matter and welcomes any additional information. State Representative [[Four Price]] of Amarillo, who backs Duncan' proposed veterinary school in his city, said that he would support an investigation into Duncan's retirement if any misconduct surfaces: "It may be a little premature to speculate this afternoon, or to say a full-blown committee investigation is warranted. I think we still don’t know."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/20180817/ethics-chair-says-current-facts-dont-warrant-investigation|itle=Ethics chair says current facts don't warrant an investigation|publisher=''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''|date=August 17, 2018|author=Matt Dotray|accessdate=August 18, 2018}}</ref>
