The Siting of a New University: The Case of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin.

Cardozier, V. R.

International Journal of Institutional Management in Higher Education, v12 n1 p64-73 1988

The struggle between two highly competitive towns over the location of a new university is chronicled. The battle has involved power politics, deception, enormous egos, civic pride, and the pleasure of rivalry, and has not abated since the final site decision. Lasting effects on the university are discussed. (Author/MSE)
