 The UT Board of Trustees voted on October 24 to accept the proposal to move the UT ASP programs under the control of the UT-Memphis College of Allied Health Sciences/Heath Sciences Center. This transition will be complete on July 1, 2009. The ASP programs will receive interim funding of $1 million annually from the UT Medical Center licensing agreement.

You, the friends and supporters of the UT ASP programs, helped make this victory a reality, and the Friends community organization thanks YOU.

The saveutasp.org website will be taken down on Dec. 31, 2008. Unless there is any news of interest, no further updates will be made to this site. It has served its purpose. There may be a new website in the near future for the community support organization, which was termed "Friends of UT ASP". An official name for this group has not been chosen as of November, 2008. Those of us who were involved with saveutasp.org may also be involved with this new website. An announcement will be sent out via email to ASP supporters when more details of the community group are available.

Saveutasp.org wishes to thank our friend Larry Silverstein, who fearlessly led the Campaign to Save UT ASP. Larry himself supplied a great deal of the content of the website through the long summer of 2008, including the emailed letters of support sent to the Trustees. Larry worked hours upon hours requesting, reviewing, and copying the emails alone. Other individuals sent us the remainder of the documents that appeared on the website. Saveutasp.org compiled the media link section and hosted and maintained the website.

The credit for this website and the survival of the Dept. goes to all of the Community leaders who spent their lives this summer making the contacts with the state decision-makers to advocate on the behalf of the ASP program. We can't say thank you enough to all these individuals who cared.
