UNLV

UNLV was initially financed by private money.  Parry Thomas and Irwin Molasky, among others, made substantial contributions in both land and money to prime the pump which should have brought the state and other wealthy Nevadans into the development of a first-rate higher education system.  UNLV had great potential in the 50s and 60s, but its life’s blood—that is money—has been reduced to a trickle.  That is not the formula for success.
