From pause to halt: Tech won’t seek funding for Amarillo vet school - Karen Michael and Robert Stein, Amarillo Globe-News

The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents voted Friday to not seek funding from the Texas Legislature this session for a veterinary medicine school in Amarillo. The move throws the long-term future of the project, which was paused in December, even further into doubt. The Legislature convened in January, and lawmakers will craft a budget for the next two fiscal years, meaning another opportunity for the university system to seek funding likely won’t arise until 2019. http://amarillo.com/local-news/news/business/2017-02-24/pause-halt-tech-won-t-seek-funding-amarillo-vet-school
