Well that would make more sense than what we have here in Little Rock with UA-Medical Sciences not just teaching MD's but also awarding PhD's, masters, bachelor's, associates and certificates in health related professions while across town UALR offers several of the same degrees.

this seems a little over the top, UAB has a pretty huge undergrad population. maybe if they mean just using the same faculty/facilities and making all UAB students UA students, I guess I could see the logistics of that; but even still that's crazy.

The state of GA recently merged a lot of colleges to cut cost.

Yes, he was made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Normally you would expect a study requested by the president to come back with sage advice like "the stadium you want to build is essential to a viable athletic program."

Not if he wants to continue employed in Alabama
