Here are statements provided by MSU from local officials:
Frank: “I’m confident that aligning with the Texas Tech University System will allow Midwestern State University to attract more students, invest in important programs and make an even bigger impact on future generations of Texans. We have an outstanding school that has served its students and our community well since its founding in 1922, and I am optimistic that this change will help both MSU Texas and the Wichita Falls area grow.”
Springer: “Midwestern State University will be a great addition to the Texas Tech University System. Together they can continue to carry out MSU Texas academic mission of cultivating dynamic graduates that are ready to meet the needs of Texas today and tomorrow. I look forward to the future of MSU Texas as a component university of the TTU System. I am appreciative of Governor Abbott signing House Bill 1522 into law and his commitment to higher education.”
