In October 2018, Rick Francis stepped down as chairman but will remain a regent until at least January. The regents also voted to name interim chancellor Tedd L. Mitchell as the permanent successor to Duncan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/20181004/francis-resigns-as-chairman-of-texas-tech-regents-mitchell-named-sole-finalist-for-chancellor|title=Francis resigns as chairman of Texas Tech regents; Mitchell named sole finalist for chancellor|publisher=''The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''|date=October 4, 2018|accessdate=October 5, 2018}}</ref>

Meanwhile, state Representative 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.

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|title=Ethics chair says current facts don't warrant an investigation|publisher=''The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''|date=August 17, 2018|author=Matt Dotray|accessdate=August 18, 2018}}</ref>
