SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 103
	WHEREAS, The Senate 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 passage of 
Senate Bill 34 during the regular session of the 79th Legislature,
that longtime hope became a reality; and
	WHEREAS, Student representation on the board of regents 
gives the board first-hand 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 System 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 System 
Board of Regents; Rachal E. Salter, Texas Woman's University 
Board of Regents; Robert B. Johnson, University of Houston System 
Board of Regents; Brittany Adams, University of North Texas Board 
of Regents; and Brian J. 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 Senate of the State of Texas,
79th 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 Senate.
                                                                       Wentworth
