There has been no gathering of the Legislature’s Joint Oversight Committee on Higher Education Governance, Excellence and Transparency since a preliminary organizational meeting on March 19.

Since then, tensions between state lawmakers and the regents have only worsened. But one regent is eager for the committee to reconvene. On Saturday, Regent Alex Cranberg told the Tribune, “Let’s have the hearings.”

The oversight committee was formed to look into the turmoil at the University of Texas System. Its first meeting did not include testimony from any witnesses but still managed to make headlines.
