UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS BOARD OF REGENTS

We applaud the University of Texas Board of Regents on their recent creation of an endowment to provide further tuition assistance for students at the UT Rio Grande Valley and other system institutions.

UTSA decided to end the six-year tradition because the phrase had become “incongruent” with the university’s values and it did not want to become embroiled in a divisive issue.

Proposals obtained by The Texas Tribune indicate the institute would be “dedicated to the study and teaching of individual liberty, limited government, private enterprise and free markets.”
