In memoriam: Regent Emeritus Paul Schauer
Regent Emeritus Paul Schauer, who served on the Board of Regents from 2002-2008, died Oct. 14, 2024. He was 80.
Schauer’s time on the board, when he represented the 6th Congressional District, included a term as chair in 2006. Prior to that, he served in the Colorado House of Representatives from 1979 to 1998.
Schauer was a dedicated public servant and a tireless supporter of higher education, as a legislator and a regent. Above all, he was a great champion of CU who was beloved by his many friends and colleagues within the university.
His passing is a loss for the CU community and the state of Colorado. However, he leaves an enduring legacy.
