On Friday, the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar approved the sale of Fort Worth's Texas Wesleyan Law School to Texas A&M University. It sounds like the schools hope to finalize the agreement next week.
In related news, Dean Royal Furgeson of the University of North Texas School of Law (located in nearby Dallas) was speaking on a panel last week and apparently suggested he'll be asking his Board of Regents to set the school's initial annual tuition at less than $13,000 when it opens its doors in Fall 2014. I have no idea how Texas A&M will price its law degree, but one suspects that Texas is about to become a major subsidizer of legal education.
