Book excerpt: Higher Education in Texas is the first book to tell the history, defining events, and critical participants in the development of higher education in Texas from approximately 1838 to 1970. Charles Matthews, Chancellor Emeritus of the Texas State University System, begins the story with the land grant policies of the Spanish, Mexicans, Republic of Texas, and the State of Texas that led to the growth of Texas. Religious organizations supplied the first of many colleges, years before the Texas Legislature began to fund and support public colleges and universities. Matthews devotes a chapter to the junior/community colleges and their impact on providing a low-cost education alternative for local students. These community colleges also played a major role in economic development in their communities. Further chapters explore the access and equity in educating women, African Americans, and Hispanics. "This is a strong contribution to the scholarship on Texas higher education."--Matthew Fuller, College of Education, Sam Houston State University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earl Campbell was a force in American football, winning a state championship in high school, rushing his way to a Heisman trophy for the University of Texas, and earning MVP as he took the Houston Oilers to the brink of the Super Bowl. An exhilarating blend of biography and history, Earl Campbell chronicles the challenges and sacrifices one supremely gifted athlete faced in his journey to the Hall of Fame. The story begins in Tyler, Texas, featuring his indomitable mother, a crusading judge, and a newly integrated high school, then moves to Austin, home of the University of Texas (infamously, the last all-white national champion in college football), where legendary coach Darrell Royal stakes his legacy on recruiting Campbell. Later, in booming, Luv-Ya-Blue Houston, Campbell reaches his peak with beloved coach Bum Phillips, who celebrates his star runner’s bruising style even as it takes its toll on Campbell’s body. Drawing on new interviews and research, Asher Price reveals how a naturally reticent kid from the country who never sought the spotlight ran into complex issues of race and health. In an age when concussion revelations and player protest against racial injustice rock the NFL, Campbell’s life is a timely story of hard-earned success—and heart-wrenching sacrifice.

Book excerpt: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was created by the Texas Legislature in 1965 to provide leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to achieve excellence for the college education of Texas students. Most of the statutes that are applicable to THECB are found in the Texas Education Code, Title 3, Section 61. The THECB's overall responsibilities include assessment of the state of higher education in Texas; development of recommendations to the governor, Legislature, and institutions for its enhancement; establishment of policies for the efficient and effective use of the state's higher education resources; and the appointment of a Commissioner of Higher Education (Commissioner) to perform all duties delegated by the Board. To meet these broad obligations to the people of Texas, the THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas for allocation of state funds to public institutions. In addition, it helps eliminate costly duplication in academic programs and unnecessary construction projects. Working with higher education institutions, the governor, and the Legislature, the THECB also ensures that all Texans have access to high quality programs at different instructional levels and administers the state's student financial aid programs.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was developed in response to Texas Education Code 61.051(i), requiring the Coordinating Board to develop a long-range plan for higher education, by region. A wide variety of factors, including educational attainment of the current population, existing degree programs, programs where significant unmet need may exist, programs provided by independent institutions, and geographic areas of the state which may have a greater need for higher education services were reviewed. In addition, through a cooperative effort with the Texas Education Agency, the Coordinating Board is for the first time able to track public school students through higher education enrollment and degree completion. As a result, a discussion of the 1992 cohort of public school seventh-grade students by ethnicity, gender and region as they enrolled in and graduated from public higher education by 2003 is now possible. Analysis of this and other longitudinal data offers more detailed and definitive information that can lead to better policy decisions for improving higher education in Texas. The report concludes with recommendations that build upon recommendations originally presented in 2002: (1) The state should ensure that all regions have access to quality undergraduate and graduate education opportunities; (2) The Coordinating Board should study future faculty needs at all levels of higher education throughout the state; (3) Coordinating Board staff will meet with representatives of institutions in each region to discuss any unmet high-demand degree program needs in their regions. Program proposals submitted to address unmet needs would continue to go through the Coordinating Board?s normal review and approval process and would be considered in the context of statewide needs. The following are appended: (1) Legislative Requirements; (2) State Overview; (3) High-Demand Degree Areas; (4) Review of Select Professions in Texas; and (5) Texas Institutions of Higher Education. (Contains 8 tes.).
