“Texas is poised to go further by shifting some of those responsibilities, traditionally held by professors, to politically appointed university regents”https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/texas-governing-boards-regents-senate-bill-37/
Political appointees would have more control over Texas universities’ courses and hiring under bill OK’d by House
Senate Bill 37 would give more power to university regents, who are appointed by the governor, to vet and veto new curricula and administrators.
