Ask the Expert: Future money for the future of STEM

The state of Texas could bring a lot of money to universities and colleges all over the state very soon. The governor has a bill on his desk that would send millions of dollars for new construction projects.

The University of North Texas stands to gain a lot of that construction money. 113 million for a science and technology research building, and more for UNT's Health Science Center in Fort Worth, and another 100 million for UNT Dallas.

On Ask The Expert, UNT President, Dr. Neal Smatresk, joined the KRLD Afternoon News to discuss how the money will help their campuses welcome students interested in S.T.E.M. studies.
