EDINBURG (AP) — Two state
legislators announced plans to pur
sue a shift of Pan American Univer
sity — the state’s southernmost four-
year institution — into the Univer
sity of Texas System.
State Reps. Juan Hinojosa, D-
McAllen, and Alex Moreno, D-Edin-
burg, said a bill they pre-filed Mon
day to effect the change is not spe
cific about how the merger should
take place.
Moreno said Pan American,
whose main campus is located in his
hometown, would emerge as a full
partner in the UT System. The bill is
a basic bill and does not resolve all of
the issues that are still to be decided
in the merger talks.
The Legislature last year ordered
the Austin-based UT System and the
College Station-based Texas A&M
University System to look at short
comings in higher education in
South Texas and offer ways to im
prove academic opportunities.
Since then, regents of Pan Ameri
can and UT have agreed to discuss
cooperative programs and possible
merger.
UT Chancellor Hans Mark said,
“It is our best judgment that for the
good of the UT System and for the
good of Pan American University
this merger should go on.”
Mark was on the Pan American
campus Monday to speak to the Fac
ulty Senate and address some of
their concerns in the event of a
merger, including tenure and ad
missions policies.
He said UT stands to gain from
South Texas’ rapidly growing pop
ulation and its economic potential
from the growing “maquiladora”
program of industrialization on the
Mexican side of the border.
“We’re going into this with a very
clear view of self interest, and I hope
we can persuade you that it’s in your
interest to do the same,” Mark said
to the faculty group.
Pan American stands to gain new
academic programs through UT, he
said.
Robert Shepard, a Pan American
regent and member of the board’s
merger committee, said he had not
seen the bill. Although he said,
“We’re definitely moving in that di
rection, and I hope we can come to
an agreement.”
Moreno and Hinojosa said they
pre-filed the bill Monday to give it a
head start in the Legislative session
beginning Jan. 10. They said the bill
in its present form would allow Pan
American University at Brownsville
to continue as an institution within
the UT System.
