Kennard’s 29 Hour Filibuster For Four Year UT Dallas
Fort Worth Senator Don Kennard filibustered for 29 hours and 22 minutes in a fight over expanding the University of Texas at Dallas to a four year institution. The essay argues the move would breach a 1969 pledge and overshadow UT Arlington, with calls for stronger emphasis on trade schools and practical vocational training to meet Texas needs. Acknowledges Victoria College and other local campuses but notes a perceived excess in Dallas expansion.
