Texas’ good fortune — a state budget surplus and a comparatively stable economy — will allow area universities to go forward with plans to construct buildings, increase financial aid budgets and hire top-tier researchers. Other U.S. colleges and universities are facing budget meltdowns....

......"Texas is in a good position economically," said Allison Castle, Perry’s press secretary. "Our economy is one of the strongest in the nation. But Texas isn’t an island."...

...Perry is also committed to creating more major research or Tier 1 universities in Texas, Castle said. It would cost at least $70 million to elevate one of seven universities — such as UT-Arlington, the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of North Texas in Denton — that the state deems most likely to attain Tier 1 status.

Why not?

That last part was redundantly redundant.

Mainly because UTD and UTA are miles ahead of UNT in research and overall money being already dedicated in those areas. Again I hope UNT gets it but I am not expecting it to happen right now atleast.

Sorry for my redundancy...long weekend.
