By: Dutton, Coleman, Talarico, Bernal H.C.R. No. 133
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, For more than 90 years, Texas Southern University
has played an important role in higher education in the Lone Star
State, and while the school currently offers baccalaureate,
master's, and doctoral degree programs in numerous schools, it does
not have a divinity program or a school of religion; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby direct the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to
conduct a study on the creation of a divinity program, from
undergraduate to doctoral degrees, at Texas Southern University
with a goal to establish a program before the start of the 87th
regular legislative session; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
copy of this resolution to the chair of the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board.
