Tucson, University Of Arizona In Dispute Over Off-Campus Dorm Proposal

The University of Arizona and the city of Tucson are in the midst of a dispute over a proposed new off-campus dorm the school wants to build — and part of the disagreement is over whether UA needs to follow city zoning laws.

Joe Ferguson is a reporter for the Arizona Daily Star and covers Tucson City Hall. He talked about the battle which is, in part, over the process of how this dorm would be built.
