Why does Arkansas have a satellite location in Mexico of all places, also wtf at GM for not investing this at a Domestic University like UT/A&M or any other engineering school here in America :/
Because GM’s goal is to ship high-paid tech and engineering jobs to Mexico and China they way they sent blue collar jobs offshore.
Here is more information, seems like minimal investment on ASU’s part, looks more like a branding arrangement.
