UTEP President Heather Wilson Appointed to National Science Board: Questions Raised on Conflict of Interest
The National Science Board (NSB) has appointed Heather Wilson, president of UTEP, as one of its members.

When reached for comment on her dual roles at UTEP and the NSB, a spokesperson from UTEP informed us that Heather Wilson was unavailable for an interview due to her travel schedule.
