Recognizing Tedd L. Mitchell for his service as chancellor of the Texas Tech University System.

This resolution (SR 76) is a ceremonial honor recognizing Dr. Tedd L. Mitchell for his service as chancellor of the Texas Tech University System. It does not create new laws or policies but formally acknowledges his 15+ years of leadership, including expanding the system to five institutions, securing funding for new schools (like Texas' first dental and veterinary schools in decades), and achieving record enrollment and economic impact. The resolution directly honors Dr. Mitchell and has no legal effect on any individuals, institutions, or policies. It serves solely as a symbolic tribute to his contributions to Texas higher education.
