UT Pact Program - No longer accepting new applications

So the UT pact program officially ended yesterday. Those students who are in the program will continue but new students will not be accepted into the program anymore. Does anyone know why?

What’s weird is that the the very first class of the UT PACT BS/MD program started in Fall 2012, so they have yet to graduate from the program (they would be entering MS-2 right now) and see what their metrics are, and how it compares to those who come thru in the traditional pathway. Very unusual to say the least.
