In the process of integration, how will faculty and staff be affected? Will there be job losses and/or gains?

The primary focus of the integration is on expansion and innovation that will likely lead to the creation of new roles and opportunities. While it is premature to speculate on job numbers at this time, the collective aim is to foster an environment where talent can thrive, support new ventures, and contribute to overall success for those we serve, our city, Texas and the nation. The merger is designed to build on strengths currently situated at both institutions and position them for long-term growth.
