AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to modify the rules and procedures for granting and revoking tenure for faculty members at certain public institutions of higher education. The key provisions include: (1) defining "tenure" as the entitlement of a faculty member to continue in their academic position unless dismissed for good cause; (2) requiring governing boards to adopt policies and procedures for granting and revoking tenure, including provisions for performance evaluations and due process; and (3) authorizing the summary dismissal of tenured faculty for serious misconduct, with appropriate due process.
