Cigarroa to head UT System
University of Texas regents Thursday unanimously named Francisco Cigarroa as sole finalist for chancellor, the top job leading a system of nine universities and six medical institutions.
Amazing! The regents have selected a person in charge of a system that has been unable to get budgets for the departments at CTRC. Who [...]

What!
UT regents focus on 2 from S.A.

You would think that when one organization takes over another that has been financially “bleeding” profusely it would clearly lay out financial expectations (you know, things they call budgets) for the various departments to ensure accountability and identify the problem areas. You would think. But six months after being taken over by the University of [...]

I hope by now that most people have gotten over the notion that the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio took over CTRC in order to save it. “Saving” it somehow implies that UTHSC-SA has special skills or more effective skills that exceed those of who were doing such a “lousy” job of running [...]

Does anyone know why the CTRC loading dock is once again open? As part of its take-over, UTHSCSA decided to shut down the CTRC loading dock and have all shipping go through UTHSCSA central receiving. But now, for some reason, the CTRC loading dock is back in business. Can anyone come up with the slightest [...]

You can now find CTRC on the UTHSCSA homepage!

Does anyone know why UTHSCSA has decided to hire three housekeeping positions for CTRC after letting go all of the CTRC housekeepers as part of the takeover?

Could it be, once again, an indication that UTHSCSA made assumptions decisions without first finding out the circumstances and is only now [...]

The UT Health Science Center hasn’t wasted any time in getting its branding on the CTRC. Never mind that employees still haven’t been told how to fill out time sheets, this is the important stuff.

And, of course, it’s absolutely necessary as part of UTHSCSA policy, right? I’m sure they consider [...]

At the town hall meeting that UTHSCSA gave when it began its “merger” with CTRC, the speakers assured the audience that they would take the best from both organizations. Well, it has become clear that UTHSCSA thinks that only they have the best.
While it’s annoying to hear that you have to change because that’s the [...]

I really wish I could tell you some of the details of what has happened during the merger that show how unprepared and uninformed UTHSCSA was about the merger and how little was done to protect the interest of CTRC employees. But I can’t.
