Duane Nellis announced Friday that he is resigning as president of Texas Tech University, after less than three years in office, to join the faculty there. The Texas Tribune noted that Nellis has recently indicated frustrations with the governance system at Texas Tech. Nellis was also a candidate for the presidency of the University of Wyoming during the 2015 search.
