Quick note about scope
- There are multiple universities commonly referred to as “U of A” (e.g., University of Arizona in Tucson, University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, University of Alberta in Edmonton). The most prominent U of A in the United States is the University of Arizona in Tucson. If you meant a different campus (e.g., University of Arkansas or University of Alberta), I can tailor the latest news for that institution as well.
