Only the University of Texas and Texas A&M have access to the Permanent University...
The University of Houston — and its 45,000 students — got none of that payout. Unlike California, which has a single system of research universities, Texas has about 10 systems. Whenever UH, Texas Tech or other schools have asked for a share of the PUF, which would take an amendment to the state constitution, they’ve gotten nowhere.
In tandem with Fertitta's efforts, UH President Renu Khator deserves credit for lining up the support, her latest Herculean achievement for a university once known largely as a commuter school. We appreciate this bold, and seemingly preposterous, statement -- which isn't so preposterous if you think about it.
Khator rightly asked why UH wasn’t already among the nation’s leading institutions. For many Houstonians, it might come as a shock that UH has come as far as it has. From 2009 to 2022, graduation rates have jumped from 41 to 64 percent and the school now has nearly as many on-campus students as the University of Texas, increasing from 4,004 to 8,397 beds.
