R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The University of Texas at El Paso has attained a
prestigious R1 designation in the Carnegie Classification of
Institutions of Higher Education; and
WHEREAS, For nearly half a century, the Carnegie
Classification has analyzed and categorized higher learning
institutions with outstanding research and policy analysis
programs; the R1 designation is conferred to top tier doctoral

WHEREAS, In the past 30 years, under the leadership of
president Diana Natalicio, UTEP has experienced significant growth
in its research programs and expenditures; doctoral degree

campus, and annual research expenditures have risen from $6 million
to $95 million; alongside this expansion in the scope and quality of
research activities, the university has maintained its commitment
to access, placing high priority in engaging students in its
research endeavors; and
WHEREAS, The University of Texas at El Paso has distinguished
itself as one of the top research universities in the nation, and
this newly earned ranking is well-deserved recognition of its
dedication to educational excellence; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
