On June 26th, 2016, UNT and Jain Education and Research Foundation (www.JainEducation.org) signed an MoU to establish a Professorship in Jain Studies at the University of North Texas (UNT).
This is the next major initiative after successful establishment of the Bhagwan Mahavir Professorship of Jain Studies at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami in 2010.
The program at UNT aims to follow in the footsteps of FIU to create a perpetual center of Jain education and research.
