WCU 154 Texas Government Provides Race Quota Updates
Asians Are Now Considered "Over-Represented" in Texas Higher Education
During the October 25th, THECB meeting titled “Committee on Innovation, Data and Educational Analytics” presenter Melissa Humphries shares race, ethnicity and gender data findings for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Melissa’s salary in 2015 was $188,000.
Melissa presents the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board with data by race. THECB knows Hispanic student enrollment significantly surpasses White student enrollment by about 10% but still refuses to remove minority race quotas.
Instead of highlighting the poor enrollment by male students, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board highlights the positive increase in female enrollment.
12:31 “female enrollments have been decreasing every year since 2019 and this is the first year we're seeing an increase”
Harrison Keller reminds Melissa that Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has the authority to provide “incentives” to Higher Education institutions to obtain the data desired.
18:11 “Overall just a reminder the board that you know the board um has the authority to set those incentives to for the college so as you're seeing changes in that data like we'll we'll be coming back to you in April and then July to talk about where you'd want to set those incentives for the community colleges”
As if Harrison has a magic money wand, he can say things and make them appear! How could this be? Well, in 2022 THECB had a budget of $29.8 billion dollars prior to proposition 5 providing THECB with an additional $3.9 billion in funding. Perhaps the 2023 budget was $35 billion since they seem to have a pattern of increasing the budget by $5 billion a year.
THECB “shall require and assist public universities”. I wonder how THECB can do both?

During the THECB October meeting Harrison Keller also tries to claim that gender enrollment has reversed in Higher Education and Melissa reminds Keller that the trend has not reversed and that female enrollment still significantly outweighs male enrollment. Note, Harrison Keller made $325,000 in 2019 reported salary. I wonder what Keller’s salary is in December 2024? As long as Keller keeps saying “equity” he might soon make $500,000 a year, that is if he’s not already making that.
20:52 “As I recall it was you know more women going into higher education and now the trends are opposite” - Harrison Keller
Wow, what a claim given the data he has in front of him.
Melissa also reminded the board that Asians are over-represented.
22:27 “Overall demographics of Texas um in this enrollment data African-American students are underrepresented and Asian and international students are over represented” - Melissa Humphries
What will the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and “Committee on Innovation, Data and Educational Analytics” do with the over-represented Asian racial group? Will they withhold funding or resources? Will they move dollars and allocate them for “underrepresented minority” groups? Perhaps they might predict that the Asian group will grow in the future, therefore they can still receive under-represented minority benefits…
With Dr.Keller leading Texas Higher Education, it now seems the word underrepresented magically means over-represented. Magic!
