Forty Year Jump

For thirty years Bill Raggio put a protective wall around the University of Nevada Reno Medical School and in effect told its faculty that it need never worry about being kidnapped and taken to Southern Nevada.  During that thirty-year period, the University of Arizona, the University of New Mexico and the University of Utah medical schools got a forty year jump on Nevada’s School of Medicine.  I have doubts that Nevada’s medical school, even with strong legislative support, could ever even become a spot on the rear view mirrors of our surrounding state medical schools.
