AUSTIN — For the Texas Tribune, higher education plays a prominent role in its nonprofit, politics-oriented coverage. It was only obvious that it would be a big part of the organization’s annual, three-day festival.
The higher education track hosted four panel events on Saturday in the University of Texas Student Activity Center’s South Ballroom, where a variety of panelists, including university chancellors and presidents and state politicians, filtered through.
The mixed group of individuals and topics created a think tank of ideas for every aspect of higher education.
