SUBCHAPTER DOPERATION OF OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATIONAL UNITS OF PUBLIC SENIOR COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES AND HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS
RULE §5.78Supply/Demand Pathway
ISSUE 05/08/2009
ACTION Proposed
Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule
(a) - (b)(No change.)

 (c)The supply/demand pathway consists of three categories:

  (1) - (2)(No change.)

   (3)Category C. After an entity in Category B has attained a full-time equivalent upper-level and graduate enrollment of 3,500 for one [four] fall semester [semesters ], the parent institution(s) and Board(s) of Regents may request that the Board review the status of the center and recommend that the Legislature reclassify the unit as an upper-level general academic institution--a university. [Reclassification may be considered sooner if the center attains a fall semester full-time equivalent enrollment of 3,500 followed the next fall semester by a full-time equivalent enrollment of 4,000.] The 3,500 FTSE standard approximates the headcount enrollment included in the current university funding formula as the minimum size needed to achieve economies of scale.

(d)(No change.)

This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
