UNTHSC Medical School Now Solely TCU’s?

[UNTX]

Anyone have additional background on this?  I’ve always known about the collaboration between the two schools, but didn’t know the plan was for UNT to cede the new medical school away completely.  What was in it for us then?

TCU's school is for a MD degree.

NT's school is for a DO degree.

I believe they'll both remain separate entities, but utilizing the same space.   I don't think NT's DO program is going away.

This is definitely a change.  UNT's school has always offered a DO.  With this collaboration, UNT was also offering an MD.  It sounds like TCU just piggy-backed on UNT until they were able to take it on their own.

Regardless of what you think of the final outcome, we were taken advantage of.

Are you sure about that?    I don't think this ever happened.

In 2015, UNTHSC and TCU announced the creation of a joint MD school, which will accept its first class of students in 2018.

Wow, the UNT Health Science Center (HSC?)sure has distanced itself from affiliation with the University of North Texas.

It was at least formerly the North Texas Health Science Center.

Now, if that logo doesn't get your Mean Green Pride flowing then I don't know what will.

Yes, it sure appears that we've been bamboozled.

Didn’t UNT just finish building something at that site?

The recent job posting included the HSC in the job listing since we are now known as UNT World.

Welcome to the University of North Texas System, or UNT World as we like to call ourselves. UNT World includes the University of North Texas in Denton, the University of North Texas at Dallas and the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. We are the only university system based exclusively in the robust Dallas-Fort Worth region and we are committed to transforming lives and creating economic opportunity through education. We are growing with the DFW region, enrolling a record 47,000+ students across our system and awarding nearly 12,000 degrees each year.

There should be an opening since the President of hsc has been promoted to Chancellor of the North Texas System.

None of this looks good.

UNT is stepped on again?  And we sit back and take it?  I've never thought UNT was a well run University.

Yep, it sure sounds like TCU got the gold mine and UNT got the shaft.
