President's statement on the passing of Regent Emeritus Tillie Bishop

Tillie Bishop was an exceptional Coloradan whose life and work exemplify the best of what public servants can achieve. Whether it was working in his community, serving in the Colorado General Assembly or on the University of Colorado Board of Regents, Tillie was known for his honesty, integrity and ability to work with all manner of people to get things done. Our state and our university are better places because of his work and his strength of character. Tillie was also a close personal friend who I have known for more than 35 years, and Marcy and I, along with the entire University of Colorado community, extend our deepest condolences to Pat and the Bishop family.

Bruce D. Benson, President
University of Colorado
