UNT Med school formally approved

[VideoEagle]

The Higher Ed Board formally approved medical schools for UNT and UH. Who is John Steen, Jr., and why.  Would he be the lone "no" vote for UNT but yes for UH?

It makes sense for UNT to have its own medical school. I don’t understand the reasoning against it, since nearly all are located in the Houston area already. Some political shenanigans behind the scenes I presume

So he was born in Texas but got his degree from Princeton.  He probably also eats Dijon mustard and salsa made in NYC.  🙂

So, John Steen is a member and former vice chairman of the UTSA Development Board.

Well, I guess its a little out of the ordinary, but  this is just one more way that UTSA has found to lose to UNT. They do a lot of that.
