The Arizona Daily Star announced today that due to the recent budget problems in the state and at the university, the deans' positions at the medical school may continue to go unfilled.

It's kind of like when a company can't hire anyone permanently, so they use a temp agency to fill all of their positions, until a temporary solution becomes a permanent solution.
