At its December 10, 2014, quarterly meeting, and after a 30-day, statewide comment period ending on December 7, the THECB’s Committee on Academic and Workforce Success adopted the commissioner’s recommendation to establish the Mexican American Studies FOSAC. Please see THECB rules, Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part1, Chapter 1, Subchapter T, Sections 1.220-1.226, which were published in the Texas Register on November 7, 2014. The full board of the THECB adopted these rules at its January 22, 2015, meeting.
The Mexican American Studies FOSAC is charged with identifying the block of courses that may be transferred to a general academic teaching institution and must be substituted for that institution’s lower-division requirements for the Mexican American studies degree program into which the student transfers.
