FORT WORTH — Tony Buzbee wants to see the Texas A&M University School of Law become a top Texas law school in the next five years — so he wrote a $1 million check to the school this week and is urging other Aggies to do the same.
Because the Texas A&M University School of Law in downtown Fort Worth is not yet a year old, the founding partner of The Buzbee Law Firm and Texas A&M System regent said he stepped up and created an endowment for the incoming dean and hopes others will follow his lead.
“What I’m hoping to do is encourage other Aggies to give money to the law school because we are going to need a healthy endowment for all the things we want to do,” Buzbee said.
The $1 million will establish the first endowed faculty chair at the law school. It will be called the Anthony G. Buzbee Dean’s Endowed Chair and the incoming dean will use the funds to invest for things such as hiring new faculty and expanding academic programs.
