Rice-Baylor Update

Blogger’s note: none of these links work anymore.

Since my post a few weeks ago about the potential merger between Rice University and the Baylor College of Medicine, I have been made aware of many new sources of information. Many thanks to all contributed these, especially to Freddy Nguyen, Lovett ’02. All active, engaged members of the Rice community should familiarize themselves with both sides of the debate:
