TX SB 37 is *really bad.” It’s important to read the whole thing to understand the scope of the efforts to completely hand over all power to politically appointed governing boards, including over most department hiring.
Things maybe going from bad to worse in Texas: www.texastribune.org/2025/03/13/t...
Texas bill would increase oversight of universities’ hiring, curriculum and compliance
Senate Bill 37 would create a state office to investigate complaints against universities and require governing boards to ensure courses don’t endorse certain ideologies.
