The contentious tenor of UT Regent Wallace Hall is about to come to an end. But he might get in one more shot before it is over.
Governor Greg Abbott has chosen three new members to the UT Board of Regents. They are former Republican State Senator Kevin Etlife, Rad Weaver, CEO of McCombs Partners in San Antonio, and Janiece Longoria, a former vice chair of the UT system board.
Abbott’s appointments takes Hall and his two closest allies off the UT Board of Regents. Also moving off the UT board are regents Alex Cranberg and Brenda Pejovich, all appointees of former Governor Rick Perry.
