AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas System Board of Regents today unanimously voted to approve The University of Texas at Austin joining the Southeastern Conference at the expiration of its current grant of rights contract with the Big 12 Conference. Board Chairman Kevin Eltife released the following statement:

The University of Texas System Board of Regents will hold a special meeting at 9 a.m. Friday, July 30, 2021, via video conference call.

The cadets in this year’s UT System Police Academy class got an extra lesson in perseverance. They faced a global pandemic that postponed their start date two times and also had to grapple with many Americans questioning the role of police officers.

“All our cadet classes are special, but this one has been the most resilient,” said Reynaldo Treviño, the Academy Commander and Senior Police Inspector at the UT System Police Training Academy.

The University of Texas System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin P. Eltife has announced the members of a committee tasked with advising the regents on selecting the next president of UT Arlington.
