The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board proposes the
repeal of Chapter 9, Subchapter E, 9.94-9.97, concerning
Program Development in Public Community/Junior College Die-
trict and Technical Colleges (Certificate and Associate Degree
Programs). The repeal of the rules would allow the Coordinating
Board to concentrate its efforts on setting major policy issues
and spending less time on applying policy. The repeal of the
rules will give more responsibility to governing boards to ensure
that proposals for new degree programs and for facilities meet
Coordinating Board policy.
:Glenda Barron, Assistant Commissioner for Community and
Technical Colleges has determined that for the first five-year
period the rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications as
a result of enforcing or administering the rule.
Dr. Barron also has determined that for the first five years the
rule is in effect the public benefit will be that it will allow the Co-
ordinating Board greater time to focus on issues of statewide
importance to Texas public higher education and will allow insti-
tutions of higher education to respond more quicklddy to changing
needs and demands of students, business and industry, taxpay-
ers, etc. There will be no effect on state or local government
or small businesses. There is no anticipated economic costs to
persons who are required to comply with the rule as proposed.
Comments on the repeal of the rules may be submitted to
Dr. Don W Brown, Commissioner of Higher Education, Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board, P.O. Box 12788, Capitol
Station, Austin, Texas 78711.
The repeal of the rules are proposed under Texas Education
Code, Sections 61.061, 61.062 and 130.001 which provides the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board with the author-
ity to adopt rules concerning Program Development in Public
Community/Junior College District and Technical Colleges (Ap-
plication, Approval, and Revision Procedures for Instructional
Programs in Workforce Education).
There were no other sections or articles affected by the
