bordertown Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Yes 2/3 goes to the UT system and 1/3 to A&M. As the money originally for the two campuses, the legislature threatened to break up the PUF. (The following is my understanding, but may not be totally accurate). A compromise was to create a UT and A&M system to include other schools. A&M largely incorporated existing universities such as West Texas State, Texas A&I, Tarleton St, & East Texas St. UT system took on Texas Western (UTEP), Arlington State College (UTA - from Texas A&M), and Pan American University (UTRGV). But the UT System took on establishing new ground up universities, including UTSA, UT-Dallas, UT-Tyler, and UT-Tyler. I assume this was an agreement between the legislature and the two schools. Unless it has changed, the PUF can only be used for facilities. The fact the UT share of the PUF is 2x A&M’s share, the UT system has more financial wherewithal to grow plant universities.

RETIREDFAN1 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The OFFICIAL Announcement: After a comprehensive process evaluating affiliation with a university system, including responses and feedback from student, faculty, staff and alumni stakeholder groups, as well as the general public, the SFA Board of Regents voted during its special meeting today to accept the invitation of The University of Texas System to become a member institution. “We are excited about the enormous opportunities this affiliation will provide for our students, faculty and staff,” said Karen Gantt, SFA Board of Regents chair. “We know that the future of SFA will be enhanced by becoming a member of the leading university system in the country.” With today’s affiliation announcement, the next step is for SFA and UT System officials to collaborate with legislative leaders on the legislation that will enable this governance change during the upcoming session, SFA’s interim President Dr. Steve Westbrook explained. SFA will retain its name, brand and culture. Read more at gosfa.com/utsystem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadduk Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) I know one of the Regents. She said the UT offer was by far the best offer. The Tech deal would actually cost SFA in the long run. As a SFA alum...I don't want to see SFA struggle, so maybe this change will be the best for the long term viability of the University.

HearEmaGrowlin Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It has been announced SFA has given a 6% raise to staff since the merger into the UT System. The first round of raises is being paid by SFA to employees out of its own funds, and UT has vowed to pay the delta in the future. Good for SFA and their folks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
