A new state law has increased oversight of Texas public colleges, prompting reaction from lawmakers and critics. Republican lawmakers have expressed praise for the early results of the law. Critics, however, have raised concerns that the law has led to censorship.

They also worry that university leaders may be overcomplying with the law, restricting what can be taught. Further details on the law and its impact are available from the Waco Tribune-Herald, which has reported on the reactions to the new oversight measures.
