Sviggum makes his decision this weekend

Steve Sviggum will take the weekend to decide which of one of his University of Minnesota jobs to resign in order to end concerns over a conflict of interest issue.

Sviggum is a regent and an instructor at the U's Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

Sviggum told me this afternoon he'll email a decision to board officials by Sunday or Monday. He plans to send the message my way as well.

Here's my story on how Sviggum and the U's board of regents got to this point.
