Talk:University of Houston System

Fourth Largest?
That implies there are least 3 other University systems in Texas. That's a lot, even for a big state. A list would be of interest.

4.68.248.231 23:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC) That's right; in addition to the UH System, there are actually five other public university systems in Texas: The University of Texas System; The Texas A&M University System; the Texas State University System; the Texas Tech University System; and the University of North Texas System.

The Texas Tech and North Texas systems are not truly multi-campus university systems. Rather, they are both major, independent universities that are also associated with separately accredited, separate-campus medical branches, as well as satellite campuses that are not independent of the main campus.

University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Texas State University and the University of Houston systems are all university systems in the truest sense, with numerous public university campuses in each.

My problem with the main Wikipedia article on the University of Houston System is the claim that it is the largest public "metropolitan" university system in the state. For instance, the University of Texas System -- with its flagship campus in Austin and other large campuses in El Paso, San Antonio, Arlington and Dallas, to name a few -- certainly qualifies as a metropolitan system. 4.68.248.231 23:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Endowment/Budget
I have a question. I was the UH website and it says the budget for FY09 is now 1.2 billion. Would that be the endowment? http://uh.edu/news-events/newsrelease.php?releaseid_int=275 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostinurpain0 (talk • contribs) 05:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope. A budget is how much a university has to spend.  An endowment is how much money a university obtains strictly through donations.Brianreading (talk) 14:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Renu Khator info
I don't feel that this information is notable enough to be put on Wikipedia yet. After all, she hasn't even accepted the position yet! Let's wait 'til she does, otherwise it's extraneous. We won't have to wait that long to know anyway! What do you guys think? Brianreading 16:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Capitalization of common nouns
Note that "chancellor", "regent" and "board" are common nouns, and do not get capitalized. See MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:INSTITUTIONS. I will restore the correct use of lower case. Chris the speller  yack  21:36, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
