Any semblance of shared governance has been abolished at Texas universities. Not like we really had much to begin with. Faculty senates are dissolved and forbidden to meet. They will be replaced by Faculty Advisory Councils which "will provide direct input to leadership in a manner that is transparent, forward-looking and aligned with our priorities". Not sure yet if this results in any meaningful difference or not as we've always just been advisory.
