The bill, H.B. No. 2397, proposes amendments to the Education Code concerning the oversight of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University. It introduces a new section, 106.315, which establishes that the board will have direct oversight of the school's general management. Additionally, it specifies that each administrator at the law school will report directly to the board on matters within the board's authority, rather than reporting to the university president.
This change aims to enhance the governance structure of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law by ensuring that the board has a more direct role in its administration. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
