The SFA Board of Regents voted to accept the invitation to join the University of Texas System after “a comprehensive process evaluating affiliation.'
The SFA Board of Regents voted to accept the invitation 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."
SFA had been invited to join four systems — Texas A&M University System, Texas State University System, Texas Tech University System and The University of Texas System — and took a little over two months to make a decision. Gantt led the board subcommittee that examined governance, financial and other matters regarding potential affiliation.
"We are honored and enthusiastic about taking the next steps together in this process with confidence that this union will make each of us stronger," he added. "Our proposal to SFA outlined our sincere commitment to helping the university build upon its programs, traditions and culture that have made the university unique for nearly a century, while adding resources to help amplify those strengths and ultimately serve more Texans.
