A mixed university

Sun., Sept. 28, 2014

In my hometown of Indianapolis, two rival universities put the best of what they had to offer into the mix and formed IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis). The result was a great university campus in the heart of a great city.

It would seem that the University of Washington and Washington State University could do the same in their efforts to establish a medical school in Spokane. Perhaps if UWWSUS cannot become a reality, then maybe Spokane could look elsewhere for its medical school.
