Relating to tenure and employment status at public institutions of higher education in this state.

HB 1830 changes tenure policies for faculty at Texas public universities. It prohibits new appointments from receiving tenure or permanent employment status after September 1, 2025, though faculty already granted tenure before that date remains protected. The bill requires institutions to develop policies allowing dismissal of tenured faculty only after due process for specific issues like professional incompetence or policy violations. It also mandates that universities support faculty involved in teacher residency programs and elevate teaching's professional status at K-12 levels. The bill directly affects new faculty hires at all 15 Texas public universities and their tenure eligibility.
