Graves said.
Harris said the third position cre
ated involved a name change for
the position of deputy chancellor
for academic institutions and agen
cies. Dr. Leo Sayavedra who previ
ously held that title under former
chancellor Dr. Barry Thompson,
now holds the title of vice chancel
lor of academic affairs.
Harris said Sayavedra has been
with the System for several years and
was president of Texas A&M Inter
national University in Laredo before
coming to work for the System.
“[Sayavedra’s] focus will be
specifically on academic affairs,
whereas before now his job also in
cluded research agencies,” she said.
Graves said Sayavedra’s experi
ence and knowledge of Texas high
er education will be crucial to the
System’s leadership team.

der requiring HEW (and later, the
Department of Education) to im
plement Title VI and initiate liti
gation against ten states that had
already been found to be in non-
compliance with Title VI.
According to the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board, an
order was made in 1973 that re
quired the Department of Educa
tion to investigate higher educa
tion in Texas and five other states.
Following the investigations the
Department of Education was re
quired to issue guidelines for de
segregation efforts in those states.
After conducting the investigations,
the OCR concluded Texas had failed
to eliminate segregation practices in
public higher education.
To avoid controversy, then Gov.
William Clements developed a vol
untary plan in compliance with the
guidelines issued by OCR to de
segregate and to increase the num
ber of African-Americans and His-
panics enrolled at Texas
institutions of higher education.
The Texas Educational Oppor
tunity Plan for Public Higher Ed
ucation, better known as the
Texas Plan, was in effect from
1983 to 1988.
A second five-year plan, initiat
ed without government mandate
by Clements, was effective from
September 1989 to August 1994
and continued the efforts of the
first plan. A third plan. Access and
Equity 2000, was created in Sep
tember 1994 under the leadership
of then Gov. Ann Richards to con
tinue and build on previous efforts.
In March 1996, the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals issued its deci
sion in the case Cheryl J. Hop-
wood, et al. v. State of Texas, et
al., ruling the University of Texas
Law School violated the equal-
protection clause of the 14th
Amendment when it used racial
preferences in deciding which ap
plicants to admit.

questions about Texas’ ability to
implement the Access & Equity
2000 Plan, in particular the use of
racial preferences by institutions to
carry out the plan’s goals.
After the decision, the coordi
nating board re-endorsed the plan
at its January 1997 meeting. The
board also called on institutions to
vigorously pursue the Plan’s goals
but to use criteria consistent with
current state and federal law in the
areas of admissions, financial aid
and student retention.
In February 1997, the State of
Texas was notified by OCR it was
going to conduct a review of
Texas’ system of higher education
“to ensure that former de jure
state higher education systems
have both implemented their
OCR-approved desegregation
plans and eliminated vestiges of
the formerly de jure systems.”
If OCR finds Texas’ system still
contains effects of prior segrega
tion, it will attempt to negotiate a
settlement with the state whereby
the state would agree to take steps
to eliminate those problems.
If a settlement cannot be
reached, OCR would refer the
case to the U.S. Justice Depart
ment for enforcement proceed
ings against the state. Although
OCR’s ultimate remedy for non-
compliance with Title VI is a cut
off of federal funds to Texas high
er education, OCR has never
resorted to that remedy, because
it has always been able to reach
settlements with states, either
through negotiation or litigation.
The amount of federal funds
given to higher education in Texas
during Fiscal Year 1995 was ap
proximately $500 million.
