The Texas A&M, Texas State, Texas Tech and University of Texas systems have all expressed interest in adding the Nacogdoches school to their folds.
, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.The 11,300-student school in the East Texas Piney Woods has four suitors: The Texas A&M University System, The Texas State University System, The Texas Tech University System and the University of Texas System, all vying for a chance to have the university join their ranks.
Earlier this month, the four systems answered a long list of inquiries — a sort of higher education compatibility questionnaire, if you will — submitted by faculty, staff, alumni and students. In their answers, all four systems boasted about the extra services and perks SFA could access, like academic and research databases, cost-saving contracts and skilled government relations teams who could advocate for SFA at the Texas Capitol. They all also reassured SFA that it would be able to retain its university name, colors and identity as Lumberjacks.
The University of Texas System waved dollar signs, too: $1 million more for annual student scholarships and $5.5 million to boost faculty salaries, as well as its system STARS program that provides start-up funding for research equipment, labs and other capital costs. It also emphasized mental health resources for students.
“Multiple system offers promise to commit $1 million per year toward growing enrollment with an eventual goal of 15,000 students,” the website reads. “Those are paltry numbers in light of SFA’s annual budget.”
