H.R. No. 313



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas 
is pleased to recognize the Texas student regents, who have been 
named to represent students on the boards of regents of public 
universities in Texas; and
	WHEREAS, For more than 40 years, the students of the colleges 
and universities of Texas have sought representation on the 
governing bodies of their institutions; with the recent passage of 
Senate Bill 34, that longtime hope became a reality; and
	WHEREAS, Student representation on the board of regents gives 
the board firsthand knowledge of the students' perspective on 
issues; student regents provide insight on issues such as tuition 
and fee increases, faculty decisions, and budget matters; and
	WHEREAS, Student regents are selected by a process that 
includes the student body, the student government, the university 
administration, and the governor; the current student regents 
represent a wide diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints; and
	WHEREAS, Current student regents are Tyson T. Voelkel, Texas 
A&M University Board of Regents; James W. Morefield, Midwestern 
State University Board of Regents; Stephanie Tracy, Stephen F. 
Austin State University Board of Regents; Cynthia A. Spooner, Texas 
Southern University Board of Regents; Francis E. Bartley, Texas 
State University System Board of Regents; Chad Allen Greenfield, 
Texas Tech University Board of Regents; Rachel E. Salter, Texas 
Woman's University Board of Regents; Robert Johnson, University of 
Houston System Board of Regents; Brittany Adams, University of 
North Texas Board of Regents; and Brian Haley, University of Texas 
System Board of Regents; these students devote long hours and work 
hard to ensure that the wants and needs of their fellow students are 
heard and addressed, and they are truly deserving of recognition 
for their efforts; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend the student members 
of the boards of regents of the public universities in Texas for 
their hard work and dedication to the welfare of their fellow 
students; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for them 
as an expression of esteem from the Texas House of Representatives.
