|
||
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 | ||
universities with high research activity, and this exemplary | ||
ranking has been accorded to only 130 out of the 2,883 four-year | ||
higher education institutions in the United States; and | ||
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 | ||
offerings have exponentially increased from 1 to 22 programs across | ||
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 | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate The University of Texas at El Paso | ||
for attaining the R1 designation in the Carnegie Classification of | ||
Institutions of Higher Education and extend to the administration, | ||
faculty, students, and staff sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for The University of Texas at El Paso as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
