Dallas Morning News: Texas regions battle for new public universities
AUSTIN – The tug of war for new Texas universities has begun.
In back-to-back hearings this week, North Texas lawmakers lobbied for new public law and pharmacy schools in Dallas, affordable educations largely absent in the region.
They face stiff competition from South Texas lawmakers vying for a medical school and their own law school. While the Rio Grande Valley has fewer higher-education options, Dallas’ proposed schools have lower price tags – a major selling point in a tight budget year.
