From Ballotpedia
Contents |
Proposition 1 would provide the constitutional appropriation for facilities and other capital items at Angelo State University or a change in the governance of the university. The initiative is a Legislative referral proposed by the Texas House of Representatives for the November 2007 election.
Proposition 1 appeared on the statewide November 2007 ballot in Texas along with fifteen other statewide propositions; all of them passed.
Overview
This proposal would transfer the Angelo State University form under Texas State University System to the Texas Tech University.
Statement of Support
Transferring ASU to the Texas Tech system will expand educational opportunities with a university system that shares ASU's regional and philosophical interests.
Statement of Opposition
Transferring ASU out the Texas State University System would remove them from a expanded and enhanced facility and low tuition rates. Moving ASU to the Texas Tech System will cost nearly three times what ASU students are currently paying. ASU is important to the "Closing the Gaps" mission of promoting student affordability.
Election results
The initiative passed with 690,214 voting for it (66%) and 350,974 voting against it (34%).
