Wow. Tarleton much, UTA?

#Shameless

I guess UTFW was unimaginable. But after seeing UNT Dallas Law, and Texas Wesleyan Law renamed TAMU Law, I guess anything is possible. Surely we can open a UTA Stephenville Law. Too bad the PUF can't be used to lower tuition.....

Campus looks nice.

Yeah that looks amazing!

What’s wrong with UTFW ?

If it’s sponsored by UT PUF $$$. No need to add Arlington to the name

They are all affiliated anyway

Now the push by A&M to claim "Dallas" thru A&M-Commerce begins to make more sense. A&M came in and kicked UTA out of downtown Fort Worth, so butthurt UT plans to build a school 15 miles away from Tarleton-Fort Worth campus. I must say, A&M-Arlington has a nice ring to it! Hope they build it right next to Rangers Stadium.

How did you manage to catch A&M's little brother syndrome?

I don't understand the defensiveness here

well I have seen no mention of closing the downtown ft. worth campus. I think UTA still has their mba center in Beijing, China too. maybe the naggies will come after that next.

You'll get no "little brother syndrome" from me. YOU, of all trolls, should know better. Merely pointing out how we got to this point. And that point is UTA copycatting Tarleton by setting up shop 15 clicks down the road. It's pathetic. Go to East Fort Worth. There lies a true void in the market. Tarleton beat you to West Fort Worth. THE first public brick & mortar standalone university in Fort Worth. Need has been filled. We had the vision and wherewithal to make it happen years ago. UTAFWW is late to the game. I see it as a weaka$$ move to poach our students and stunt Tarleton's unprecedented growth. As a Fort Worth native and Tarleton alumn, it just wreaks of pettiness. Tarleton was Fort Worth when Fort Worth wasn't cool. We've earned the right to be here. Period.

You're wrong. UTA Fort Worth center opened in 2007. Tarleton came in 2019. So you're off ye Tarleton.

"In 2007, the UTA Fort Worth Center was created in downtown Fort Worth and focused on serving working professionals by connecting education with careers, offering high-quality academic programs, that meet the needs of students and the 21st-century workforce."

Didn’t UTA have building in the NW corner of Fort Worth? I think it was some type of technology building and it was east of Loop 820.

Lol the UTA "Center" at Fort Worth. That was nothing more than UTA leasing a few offices at the rail station. Tarleton has "Centers" all over the place, bud. You are not only WRONG, but you are also a few decades off. Tarleton first set its roots in Fort Worth back in 1978 when we established our Medical Laboratory Sciences school there. The program served, and continues to serve, as a pipeline to Alcon and other Fort Worth based pharma companies. Now, fast-forward to 2007, the year TARLETON establishes its Fort Worth CAMPUS by purchasing the Hickman Building off Camp Bowie. In WEST FORT FORTH. We occupied the entire building, not just a few leased offices. Shortly after that, UTA then decided to open its "Center" in Fort Worth, again shamelessly paddling Tarleton's ripple. Then, in 2019, Tarleton outgrew the Hickman Building and started a full-blown standalone CAMPUS, not "center" off Chisolm Trail where we now have two buildings with over 3,000 students...and growing. Actually, TARLETON-FORT WORTH just graduated its first class! So naturally, right on cue, UTA now decides it wants to start its own campus in West Fort Worth, just like Tarleton. Makes me sick. You need to get your facts straight.

IT, grow up...

Wow! We are a large university with no football team and an underfunded athletic dept. and we are just trying to expand our academic standing. Why so much anger?

Wouldn't surprise me if it does eventually. Even Tarleton's branch turned into Texas A&M Central Texas.

Oldsters like me have a hard time keeping up with the various renamed Universities in Texas. Who would guess ACU used to be Childers Classical Institute (CCI). Hang on to John Tarleton because I could not handle "Texas A&M a little southwest of Dallas Fort Worth" or Texas A&M LSWDFW..

Didn't expect this thread to turn into another conspiracy theory of the powers out to get Tarleton. Probably should have looking at the OP, but I didn't.

Heck, I admire Tarleton for hanging on to their historical identity. Well Done guys.
