UNT regents pick permanent president for health science center

DALLAS Dr. Michael Williams, a Fort Worth native whose maternal grandparents once owned a cabinet shop on the north side, has officially been named president of the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth.

Williams, 59, became interim president in December after Dr. Scott Ransom was fired. Williams was named sole finalist in June.

It feels great to be here, Williams said Friday after regents voted unanimously for his appointment. It feels great to be an official part of the team.

The UNT System board of regents met by teleconference to discuss the appointment. Regents had a closed session for about 30 minutes (still via teleconference), then resumed the open meeting in a conference call that was open to the public.

Williams followed the meeting from the health science center in Fort Worth.

Dr. Williams, we are so happy you are there and are going to take the helm, regents Chairman Jack Wall said.

The terms of Williams three-year contract are still being worked out and will be made public after it is signed, likely in about 60 days, system Chancellor Lee Jackson said. The contract will include bonuses for meeting key goals, Jackson said.

Williams Fort Worth roots undoubtedly helped as he was asked to soothe hurt feelings in Tarrant County created by Ransoms firing. Members of the Health Science Center Foundation Board said they worried that a key voice for Fort Worth was lost and that the upheaval could damage Fort Worths chances of landing an M.D. program.

My guess is that as long as he is the idiot Lee Jackson's lap dog,and apologist, then he will always earn a bonus.

He has his M.D. from Ross University, a Caribbean medical school owned by DeVry. Ross seems to be in the news quite a bit and sometimes not in the most favorable light.

Wow! another proud moment for the UNT system.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      The first 32 or so minutes of the game was the best ball we've played all year considering the opponent. When we were up 20 I was looking at USF's roster and stats to see if they were missing anyone big and they weren't. We looked like the men at Memphis once they started the full court trap though. Ugly finish, but it's another W. Now we've got defending conference champ Rice at home Wednesday night. Come on people, get to the Pit!

      Denton, America ???

      Eh ? Eh ? I haven’t missed a home game this season. I spoke with Rob before the Rice game. “What’s up with the ‘Denton, America?’ I asked.” As I said, he said, “I just read what THEY give me.” No,Teeth. I don’t think I got it backwards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should stay and build the AAC with other programs who want out? Why? We should be proactive and try to bounce now, to the PAC if possible, with a few other regional members. The argument to me isn't PAC vs AAC today, it's PAC vs AAC in 5 to 10 years if the three you mentioned get their wish and move to the ACC before then. If Tulane, USF, and Memphis move on, we'll be basically be right back in CUSA. Then we'll be crying about how we didn't do anything to get into a better conference or how we've again been left behind.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      If he was so bad at RB why would he start in front of 4 healthy scholarship RB’s? Granted trying to recruit better players is standard for every school in the country. I think UNT signed a couple high school RB’s and one RB from the portal so far. The portal player was a second string RB at Missouri State who was behind a 3rd string RB transfer from K State. No one is saying Porter was Eric Dickerson but he was obviously the best choice according to the coaches and second best was McGill who played well and is younger but he still isn’t on scholarship either. So the “walk on for us” theory doesn’t fit when your best two RB’s were walk on’s. My biggest issue was the fact he wanted to stay. You lose staring QB, best TE,WR and O lineman but your leading rusher wants to stay and you let him walk? Maybe they will find a stud RB but for the 2024 season UNT’s most productive RB’s were both walk ons. What’s that say about the coaches evaluation of scholarship players?

      I thought they only had 5 days after the bowl game to enter.
