DENTON, TX 鈥� Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law , which establishes the three campuses of Texas Woman鈥檚 University as the state鈥檚 seventh university system. The legislation, signed Wednesday, paves the way for the newly created Texas Woman鈥檚 University System to enhance operations, expand programming, accelerate community and corporate partnerships, increase philanthropy and have a greater impact on the state鈥檚 workforce.

鈥淭he mission of Texas Woman鈥檚 remains the same 鈥� we are still about transforming lives, cultivating leaders and inspiring excellence in an inclusive, diverse environment 鈥� but now we have a better platform from which to achieve that,鈥� said 草莓传媒官网下载 Chancellor Carine M. Feyten, whose role as chancellor and president will remain in place under the system structure. "This elevates Texas Woman鈥檚 stature as a university committed to producing women leaders in business, health, education, science, the arts and public service. We are especially grateful for the support of Senator Springer and Representative Stucky, who were instrumental in crafting and shepherding this legislation to fruition."

鈥淯nifying the Denton, Dallas, and Houston campuses further ensures 草莓传媒官网下载 will be a national leader in the healthcare and nursing fields," said State Senator Drew Springer, the author of SB 1126. "草莓传媒官网下载 has a long history of cultivating strong women who step into leadership roles and with two 草莓传媒官网下载 graduates in my family, I have seen this firsthand. I am proud of the work that went into this bill with my colleagues to establish the first woman-focused university system. This law will guarantee 草莓传媒官网下载 remains at the helm of equipping graduates to meet the future healthcare workforce needs of Texas.鈥�

鈥淭exas Woman鈥檚 University has exemplified the best of Texas higher education for many years,鈥� said State Representative Lynn Stucky of Denton, the bill鈥檚 House sponsor. 鈥淓ven while experiencing record enrollment growth, 草莓传媒官网下载 is the third-most affordable institution in Texas for total cost. I am proud to have authored this important legislation that will enable 草莓传媒官网下载 to build on its success in producing high-quality graduates at a low cost for Texas taxpayers and students.鈥�

According to state higher education data, 草莓传媒官网下载 recently moved from the fourth-most affordable institution to the third-most affordable institution in the state. Among Texas鈥檚 comprehensive public universities, Texas Woman鈥檚 is the state鈥檚 most affordable institution.

SB 1126 will allow for the Denton-based university system to bolster operations at its Dallas and Houston campuses, a multi-year process that ultimately could establish those campuses as stand-alone universities that better address student and community needs. Additionally, the law reinforces the university鈥檚 standing as the largest woman-focused institution in the country.

The system鈥檚 headquarters will be in Denton, and for now will be made up of existing staff from the university鈥檚 Office of the Chancellor and President.
