The article linked below also discusses the fact that UTHSC Houston President Kaiser has beseeched the Texas Legislature for more money. This from a president who gets commuting costs back and forth to Pennsylvania. If I were sitting on a legislative finance committee, such an entreaty from Kaiser would fly about like the proverbial lead balloon. UTHSC Houston may well need more money; I don't know. I would still want the institution to clean its own house before cleaning out the state treasury.

CM: Why did you change the name to UTHealth?
LK: It was pretty obvious there was a lack of understanding in the community about our long name, which is still our name. A lot of people really didn't know what a health science center was. Rebranding us as UTHealth will better allow us to better establish an identity. A lot of people don't know that UT physicians are closely associated with Memorial Hermann Hospital — even something that basic is not well-known.
