The Coordinating Board
The Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System,
is a statutory, 18-member board appointed by the Governor. It is
responsible for statewide planning and policymaking to assure
quality and efficiency in Texas higher education. The Board's
primary areas of responsibility are financial planning, senior col-
leges and universities, community colleges and continuing educa-
tion, health affairs, student services and campus planning.
The Texas Legislature created the Board in 1965 and has contin-
ued to add to its statutory responsibilities since that time. The
Board approves or disapproves all degree programs of Texas pub-
lic colleges and universities and recommends the establishment,
discontinuance or combining of public institutions. It authorizes
elections for the creation of public junior college districts and
adopts standards for their operation. The Board develops and
recommends formulas to the Governor and Legislative Budget
Board for their use in determining legislative appropriations and
equitable distribution of state funds to colleges and universities.
The Board supervises planning, utilization, evaluation and report-
ing of academic development and establishes transfer curricula in
various disciplines to facilitate the transfer of students among
public institutions of higher education. The Board also adminis-
ters the family practice residency training program for improving
the distribution of family physicians in Texas and recommends
policies for efficient use of construction funds and orderly develop-
ment of physical plants. In the private sector, the Board restricts
the operation of substandard or fraudulent institutions. Other
activities include administration of the state's college student loan
program and other financial aid programs, as well as a higher
education uniform insurance benefits program. The Board also
assesses educational supply and occupational demand for gradu-
ates of Texas postsecondary education institutions.
As required by statute, the Coordinating Board met quarterly
in Austin in October 1981 and January, April and July 1982.iv
