For North Texas Universities, It's Time To Get Mad And Get Even

A political e-mail making the rounds basically calls Tech, UNT and UT-Arlington stupid.

Just when voters have a chance to invest an extra $25 million in those and four other universities, bashers are arguing that their students just aren’t worth as much as the geniuses in Austin or College Station.

Tech, UNT and UT-Arlington have "mediocre scores at best" and don’t deserve the Proposition 4 money"

Well, I went out and voted (early) for us. I hope everyone else on this board can say the same by Tuesday night.

There's a pretty good thread going on the CUSA board regarding UH, Tx Tech, UTD, etc. on the tier 1 status issue. Can someone tell me if UNT meets any four of the requirements?

That link does not appear to be exactly right; here's one from the Texas College Coordinating Board itself, and looks more favorable towards us:

Texas College Coordinating Board; scroll down for prop 4.

So, I say, fellow alumni, if you haven't already, go out and vote today for prop 4.

Good grief! Do I have to actually read all of that stuff?? Isn't there a "cliff notes" that summarizes everything for me??

Don't worry, I'll be voting.

I voted for propositions 4 and 11. Go Mean Green.

Prop 4 is heading toward passage... good news for UNT and other universities not located in Austin or College Station.
