Why do some states have satellite schools and others don't?

A couple states like California, Texas, New York, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. set it up where you have a BOT governing multiple campuses. UCSB, UTSA, SUNY, UAB, AUM, UTC, etc.

Then you have so many other states who have separate BOTs for each school that determine the direction of each institution.

Seems like every institution should be able to govern itself.

Joint curriculum

Sometimes a research center just grows until they're offering their own courses and tuition.

Like Auburn has fisheries and labs in Dauphin Island. If enough resources are diverted there for whatever reason, it becomes more of a standalone institution. May even start offering courses, but it's still part of Auburn.

The medical school at UAB is actually split between UA, UAB, and UAH.

I believe Georgia public schools are all completely connected.

Pooling resources can increase efficiency. There's a lot of infrastructure that sits behind running a university.

Is this supposed to be on the MSB?

University Systems.

The A&M and Texas systems are each governed by a separate Board of Regents, not Trustees.
