Questions have been raised about the involvement of university leaders in a political fundraiser. The event, held on September 29, was for a U.S. Senate race. Two officials, a chancellor and a regent chair, were listed by their university titles on the invitation.

Their participation has prompted scrutiny from some, who wonder if official roles or resources were utilized to support the event. Details about the situation are available from the source, including the concerns of a particular group, the Lubbock County Democrats.
