[Corrected]: Consolidation would move AZGS into UA Geosciences Department

correction [1-25-16, 10 AM]:
The information below was early language that was dropped but mistakenly posted in the online budget document.  The options for where AZGS would be housed in UA are still under discussion
 

Governor Ducey's Office of Strategic Planning and Budget has released new details on his proposal to consolidate the Arizona Geological Survey into the University of Arizona. An addition to the Executive Budget states:
"For FY2017, the Executive recommends consolidating the Arizona Geological Survey with the Department of Geosciences within UA’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. The State Geologist would continue to be a gubernatorial appointee."

  1. Once again the Republicans are attempting to diminish public service by finding ways to erode budgetary support for programs intended to benefit the whole of society. This will not stop until they are voted out of office.
