THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STATEMENT:
"We can't speak to past inequities, but under Chancellor John Sharp and the Board of Regents, the funding for Prairie View A&M University has been the best it's ever been. For example, the System has allocated $341 million in construction projects to Prairie View A&M over the past 11 years. Further, the System has given $36 million in research funding from the chancellor's research fund to the university in the same period. Also notably, Prairie View A&M's allocation from A&M's permanent endowment increased by nearly 150 percent, from $12.1 million in 2011 to $29.9 million this year. And on an annual per-student basis, System funding has more than doubled to $3,306 per student, up from $1,384," Copelin said.

Convincing him of that is going to be a tough road to hoe.

Outside of an entertaining marching band what else do they bring to the table?
How long do they think they would last without the funding from the A&M system?
If they want to go let 'em go.
That's just that much more money for the rest of the schools in the system.

It's the Alumni President, I don't think it's his decision to make.

OK, so cut them loose. See how long they last on their own. Maybe their alumni will step up and fill their perceived funding gap.

Can you explain why or what benefit do they provide other than taking resources?

Wonder why? Wouldn't that be a deep cut in their bank account?

Probably none. My limited understanding, the various systems are just a level of oversight and high level management between the various individual institutions and the legislature. They could possibly move to another system, but the legislature won't allow them to be independent.

Don't forget the $50 million unrestricted gift they got from McKenzie Scott. The problems at Prairie View are not due to a lack of resources.

Right. They are most assuredly someone else's fault, though.

They always are.

Put some societal rules back in place and we have little to no talent in our major sports cause they'll be there - be careful what you wish for - our benefit has been their loss

Everyone wants to run their own show but nobody wants to pay for it.
There should be a way to elevate the status without risking the funding as most HBCU would love to have PVU money. It is better to remain a part of the crown until you have the funds to be independent,

The statement that "PVAMU" wants to leave is a bit misleading. The president of their alumni association voiced his opinion. And no doubt there are others who share that opinion. But, I don't believe that he speaks for PV as a whole.

This is the the kind thread to where a lot of people will accidentally tell on themselves. Already a few so far.

Agency problem again.
PVAMU President wants the glory of running his own university and "being the ultimate boss". Now his bosses are the regents of the A&M system I am guessing so his powers are very less.

But PVAMU will suffer from this in the long term and the President does not care. He will stick on to his job for another 2-3 years and move on to a better President job at a better university.

Winner: President
Loser: PVAMU
Neutral (don't give a F): TAMU
