[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2733986, member: 61297"] The first half of the sentence is over blown in the short term. The second half is likely entirely true. The UT System Board or Regents Chair is from Tyler and swung a big stick in his state senate days. So that regional campus is pretty safe for now. It’s longer term future will be interesting. Its enrollment is small and if it doesn’t go up substantially in the next decade it’s a possible candidate for spinoff to another System—UT has discussed a 20,000 enrollment minimum for its schools (though hasn’t acted on the proposal yet to my knowledge). The same can be said for UTPB, who like UTT has enrollment between 8k and 10k, primarily made up of commuter undergrads (which I suspect Tech would be happy to pick up UTPB as they won’t realize their dream of getting UTEP or WTAMU and pushing UT and A&M entirely out of West Texas ). No clue who would take UTT—A&M would be the natural fit in East Texas with the flagship, Commerce, PVAMU, and Texarkana. [/QUOTE]
