Why does our organization have to comply with Texas Education Code Section 51.9361 (HB 2639, 80th Tex. Leg.)?
As per the law, The University of Texas at Austin is required to comply with this new statute, and therefore, our student organizations also must comply in accordance with Regents’ Rules and Regulations and the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities. Texas Education Code Section 51.9361 requires that the institution (The University of Texas at Austin) determine the selection of student organizations or types of student organizations that could benefit from risk management guidance. NOTE: Student organizations have many obligations they must meet under state or federal law, as well as university rules. Completing the above requirements does not necessarily mean that your organization is in full compliance with other laws or university policies that impact your student organization. Please consult with your advisor or staff in the Office of the Dean of Students if you have questions.
