Eileen Klein is leaving the Arizona Board of Regents after serving as its president since 2013.
Klein posted a resignation message on the regents' website Monday in which she said she plans to step down from the board later this year.
Klein said the board improved its business planning process during her term. She also cited significantly better enrollment, diversity, graduation rates and employability for Arizona students.
