"Under his leadership, the regional campus will continue its exciting progress in academics, academ-ics, development and community service," Menlove said. "Dr. Holley Hol-ley and his wife bring with them a vision of how higher education can increase learning and excellence excel-lence in the lives of Uintah Basin residents and support growth in the local economy." Debbie Spafford, chair of the Utah State University Uintah Basin Regional Campus advisory advi-sory board, said the skills Holley Hol-ley brings with him will be very important' during' the next few years of growth in the Basin. She said that Holley's experience with off-campus programs and his dynamic personality are a great fit for .the region. "He understands the challenges chal-lenges of being a first-generation college student," said Spafford. "He is a great collaborator and is very community oriented." Holley said he is excited about the new position in the Uintah Basin and considers it to be one of the most unique opportunities he has seen in serving the needs of students, residents and communities com-munities with a rich educational environment. "Community members have Hatch says keep hands off Utah's mining royalties Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) (R-Utah) joined a bipartisan group of 13 Western senators on a letter to the Administration telling it to keep its hands off mineral-lease mineral-lease money intended for Utah and other mining states. In its annual budget to Congress, the Administration proposes reducing the share of receipts that state governments receive from mineral-leasing activities on public domain lands by 2 percent annually, which would -I it J already worked to create an excellent foundation in the Uintah Basin," Holley said. "I look forward to the opportunity to build on that foundation in order to better support teaching, scholarship and facilities." As a member of the university-wide university-wide Council of Deans, Holley will provide administrative and intellectual leadership for faculty and students at the Uintah Basin Regional Campus. He said he is optimistic about plans for the future direction of the campus and about creatinga stronger collaborative col-laborative relationship between all the campuses of Utah State University. Holley completed his undergraduate under-graduate degree in agricultural education at Oklahoma State University, and earned master's and doctorate degrees in agricultural agricul-tural education from the same institution. USU President Stan L. Albre-cht Albre-cht said that Holley's experience and vision for the Uintah Basin are very important as the region enters a period of unparalleled continued growth and expansion. expan-sion. "Dr. Holley has extensive experience with outreach and distance education programs," Albrecht said. "He is committed commit-ted to the land-grant mission and is a great fit for Utah State University." cost affected states more than $46 million a year - about $3.33 million from Utah's budget. "When it comes to funding public works, the West is often at a huge disadvantage because it lacks the tax base of more populous regions and because so much of our land is under federal control," Hatch said. "But obviously the West's natural natu-ral resources are very valuable, so for the federal government to encroach upon our mining royalties is unacceptable."' Utah receives more mineral-lease money than every other state, except Nevada and Wyoming, and therefore would be especially impacted by a recent attempt by the Administration to charge the states for administering administer-ing the mineral leasing program out of the states' share of mineral royalties, which it terms "net receipt sharing." States use these royalties for a variety of important purposes, including educational improvements. "While I appreciate the Administration's efforts to balance bal-ance the budget, taking money from state coffers is not the way to do it," I latch said. "This money rightfully and lawfully belongs to the states, and my colleagues and I will make sure the states get what is rightfully theirs."
