A bill awaiting signature from Gov. Greg Abbott would reconfigure how institutions of higher education in Texas are governed.
Senate Bill (SB) 37 by state Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) will enhance the oversight authority of existing governing boards for public institutions of higher education, requiring them to conduct a “comprehensive review” of general education curriculum every five years and granting them the power to “overturn any hiring decision” made for the positions of vice president or dean.
