Alphonso Rincón - The location of a conversation that took place March 26 involving the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the chancellors, regents and campus leaders of the stateʼs largest—and often rival—university systems was a statement in itself. The location was neither Austin (home to the University of Texas main campus), or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, or the Texas Legislature, or Texas Monthly (which co-sponsored the conversation), nor Bryan, home of the Texas A&M University main campus. Instead the Broadening the Pathway of Higher Education in Texas panel took place in the new, solitary building of Texas A&M University, situated, not on the north but the south—historically underserved—side of San Antonio.
