AUSTIN, Texas — Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez has filed a bill concerning Sul Ross State University.
Senate Bill 522 would move Sul Ross and its Rio Grande College from the Texas State University System to the Texas A&M University System.
"After speaking with the community at length and having thoroughly researched Angelo State University’s vast improvement after joining the Texas Tech University System, moving Sul Ross State University is the right decision for the institution, the students and faculty, and both Alpine and West Texas as a whole," Gutierrez said.
