Have other integrations or major expansions occurred within the UT System recently?

The UT System has a proven track record of successful institutional realignments and expansions, including the creation of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and its medical school, the merger of UT Tyler with UT Health Science Center Tyler, the acquisition of Stephen F. Austin State University as a UT institution, the creation of a UT MD Anderson hospital, a new UT Austin hospital on the UT Austin campus, and the planned expansion of UT Arlington into west Fort Worth.
