I honestly don't really care if UH-V get's taken by the TAMU system. If it happens though, TAMU should pay the UHSystem for the existing infrastructure so we can invest in either UH-Sugarland/Cinco Ranch or one of the UH universities that actually want to be in our system.
Quote:An influential legislator wants the chancellors of the University of Houston and Texas A&M systems to meet in Victoria in June.
The purpose of the meeting: to discuss issues regarding House Bill 2556, which aims to move the University of Houston-Victoria into the A&M system.
"I've come to determine that we need to explore a resolution to the current dispute," said Rep. Dan Branch, a Dallas Republican who serves as chairman of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education, the group to which the bill was assigned. "I want to see if we can start exploring possibilities."
Supporters and opponents of switching university systems applauded Branch's decision. In addition to the chancellors, Branch also invited to the meeting Sen. Glenn Hegar, a Katy Republican; Sen. Judith Zaffirini, a Laredo Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee; and Rep. Geanie Morrison, the Victoria Republican who authored the bill.
