Secrecy kept on Texas university regent nominations
Texas senators voted 17 to 15 to retain the veil of secrecy on confirmations or rejections of governor nominees. The rule bars disclosure of vote totals on University of Texas regents and blocks public scrutiny. The executive session will also delay confirmation of Secretary of State Sidney Latham and other officials while regents’ fate, including Homer Price Rainey, remains unresolved.
