Texas view controversy over Seven Breakthrough Solutions
The Dallas Morning News reports a political and educational clash over Jeff Sandefer's Seven Breakthrough Solutions for Texas colleges. Regents and Gov. Perry pressured Texas A&M Chancellor Mike McKinney to resign for not pushing Sandefer's ideas quickly enough, raising concerns about governor interference and university independence. UT President Bill Powers defends academic freedom as essential for innovation and long term state growth. UT regents backed Francisco Cigarroa to maintain autonomy, but calls for broader Texas awareness grow.
