Rice-Baylor Update

Since my post a few weeks ago about the potential merger between Rice University and the Baylor College of Medicine, I have been made aware of many new sources of information. Many thanks to all contributed these, especially to Freddy Nguyen, Lovett '02. All active, engaged members of the Rice community should familiarize themselves with both sides of the debate:


The Rice Student Association Site on the Merger:

The Faculty Senate Site on the Merger: (Results from the Faculty Merger Review Committee)
