Texas Research may transfer assets to two universities
The Texas Research Foundation's board will meet August 15 to decide if transferring the institute's programs and properties to Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Dallas is the only way to avert future financial difficulties. The Campbell and Coit Road base is noted for aiding Texas agriculture's postwar revival and hybrid development. The executive committee recommended distributing assets to the two universities after a plan to avert further crises.

Renner foundation faces funding gaps as land transfer proposed
The 1970 contribution drive fell $600,000 short of its $2 million goal. Foundation Administrator Huey Whitehurst says TRF has no debt now but expects future funding difficulties. Proposal would cede 380 acres to Texas A&M for an agricultural research center and 275 acres to UTD for an Environmental Sciences Institute, with ongoing employee employment. TRF, begun in 1944, has a regional reputation for restoring depleted cotton land and envisages continued work or expansion if the transfer proceeds, with a possible name change but the Renner identity remaining familiar to local farmers. The Aug. 15 trustee decision will determine the path forward.
