Once the legislation gained momentum Royce wasn't going against the NTU constituency no more than the black legislators down here were going to go against the U of H constituency.
That is an interesting thought you have about an alliance that potentially could have worked between our national alumni associations with UT and TAMU, but it has been said politics make strange bed-fellows.
The 400M endowment requirement is the problem. It is also the goal post that will be moved to an upward figure to maintain the status quo in the future.Question for all against it (I voted against also). What parameters would be better for PV and TSU to meet for this particular type of funding?
He is still carrying their water. Remember, his state representative district included TSU and UH. As you know, Jolanda Jones is the representative for that district now. She has been quiet because politically it isn't in her best interest to go against the UH constituency. She is also an alumnus of UH, so they will always have her back long as she stays on their good side.I got an email from former Texas State Representative Garnet Coleman, urging people to vote for Prop 5.
Voted no but as of my latest notifications it looks like it passed.
BP,Voted no but as of my latest notifications it looks like it passed.
And that's my thing. TSU and PV can have all the money in the world but if we have bad leadership none of that matters. PV and TSU is honestly in the same boat. And despite PV performing slightly better on academic metrics than us they are still not spectacular or among the best in the state Academically we are not on par with the majority of our peer Texas institutions. We need the right leadership to get us there but it hasn't happened yet. Like I said in the other forum, the majority of bright and academically talented Black high school students laugh at the thought of attending PV or TSU and that's a problem our leadership needs to fix. If we cant get most of the best of us to respect us, how can we expect for anyone else to take us seriouslyRoyce west came out in favor of Prop 5. If both schools' alumni association atleast gave a damn we would strangley have a built in coalition with UT and A&M grads because alot of them are against it just because.
I voted No. However, PV is part of the TX A&M System. They are the ones made them give up football years ago.You would think with what is going on with the Land Grant HBCUS that this would have been away for the state of Texas to start funding PVAM more. PVAM ranks in the top 4 (SU, TnSU, FAMU)
