Legislation Filed to End Tenure at Texas Public Universities
A newly filed measure would prohibit public universities from granting tenure or any type of permanent employment status. However, it would not affect faculty awarded tenure before September 1, 2025.
The legislation, House Bill 1830, was filed by State Rep. Matt Shaheen (R-Plano).
The measure states that boards of regents would still be allowed to establish an alternative system of tiered employment status, as long as every faculty member undergoes an annual performance evaluation.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has advocated for eliminating tenure since 2022, arguing that tenured leftist professors are poisoning the minds of the next generation and must not be shielded behind claims of “academic freedom.”
Patrick suggested that the legislation should include statutes that define teaching critical race theory as cause for the termination of a tenured professor.
