Senate Bill 254 amends the Education Code to repeal two provisions that previously imposed restrictions on programs, enrollment, and admissions policies of The University of Texas at Dallas. The repealed provisions included restrictions intended to minimize the impact of expansion at the university on programs at other public universities in the North Texas region, caps on the number of entering freshmen students and on the total enrollment of freshmen and sophomore students, with a portion of the cap conditionally set aside for the enrollment of minority students, and a requirement for undergraduate admissions policies to emphasize the admission and enrollment of lower-division students into academic programs leading to degrees in natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering.
