Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, has filed legislation that would establish The Civitas School of Civic and International Leadership as a formal college at the University of Texas at Austin.

It states UT-Austin must provide the college with 15 tenured or tenure-track faculty spots and allow the college to offer courses and undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The bill states that the dean would report to the university president and provost. The dean, president and board of regents would establish a board of advisers who would “participate in any future processes to select successor deans of the school.
“Faculty control curriculum and so we have a problem here that they’re circumventing faculty control,” Suri said. “It does seem to me a very strange and a poor way forward to create a college that the faculty at the university doesn't support being a separate college.” “Universities are critical to the preservation of liberty, for no country can long remain free without leaders who understand the conditions of freedom. But it is especially critical at the present time, as American politics become increasingly polarized and American universities increasingly mired in disputes about higher education’s present state and ultimate purpose,” the center’s fall newsletter states.
