Texas Municipal League Higher Education Committee


About the Texas Municipal League Higher Education Committee (TMLHEC)

Cities with institutions of higher education are faced with unique opportunities and challenges. TMLHEC was formed in 2008 to serve as a network for college and university cities. TMLHEC serves as a forum for cities to share information on issues that are unique to cities with institutions of higher education.

Who Should Participate?

Elected and appointed city officials in TML member cities with an institution of higher education within or adjacent to city boundaries are encouraged to participate.

HigherEducationNet

Need to reach out to your colleagues? Join the HigherEducationNet.

The HigherEducationNet is a web-based communication system that is intended to facilitate communication among cities with a college or university. It should be used to share information and collaborate on issues that are unique to cities with institutions of higher education.

We encourage you to join this complimentary service and participate – whether you have a question or an answer.

If you have any questions or technical difficulties, please contact Rachael Pitts at rpitts@tml.org or 512-231-7472.

Group Guidelines

  1. Posts to this system are the opinions of the individuals making the post.
  2. Do not forward any information gathered from this system unless you have received permission from the author(s).
  3. Be careful of attachments that may contain viruses.
  4. Stay on topic. Replies to a question posted to the group should benefit the entire group and will be seen by the entire group. If you want the reply to be seen by only one person, e-mail that person directly.
  5. Always summarize your question in the subject line. This information helps members find specific messages.
  6. Before acting on any information received from the group, a city official should consult with local legal counsel to ensure that the information received complies with current law and the particular facts of each situation.
