Does say that they sought a partnership with UH, along with other Houston area schools.
Looks like UH will be involved.
Other area colleges have offered their support. Rice said Thursday that the University of Houston, the University of Houston-Downtown, Texas Southern University, the University of St. Thomas, Houston Baptist University, South Texas College of Law Houston, Houston Community College and Lone Star College intend to participate.
A collaborative hub for Houston’s universities focused on innovation sounds somewhat like what Mayor Sylvester Turner pitched almost a year ago at his State of the City address.
