Former Texas Tech Chancellor John Montford will not be the next chancellor for the University of Texas. Word came Thursday night that the board of regents at U.T. chose Fransisco Cigarroa.
Monford was one of the two final candidates considered by the board. Even though he wasn't chosen, U.T. regent Robert Rolling said Montford was an extremely well-qualified and charming candidate. Montford is currently a vice president with AT&T.
