Statement on UT System Houston Land

August 07, 2017 —

Tilman Fertitta, UH System Board of Regents

The University of Houston is pleased that UT is not expanding in Houston. This was a group effort by elected leaders, our Board of Regents, our administration and supporters to stand our ground against an unnecessary duplication of resources that didn’t align with the state’s plan for higher education.
