House Bill 1537 amends the Education Code to allow The University of Texas System board of regents to charge students at The University of Texas at Austin a fee of $2 for any semester or summer session to fund the construction of statues of Barbara Jordan and Cesar Chavez on the university campus and to establish student scholarships in their names. The bill provides for the disposition of fee revenue into two separate accounts, with the funds in each account dedicated primarily for the construction of a statue and the remainder, if any, to be used to establish the student scholarships.
