Re: SB 11 implementation for junior colleges: Smooth sailing or rough seas?

I think it will be an easier transition for most of the Junior/ Community Colleges for the simple fact that the majority of the students there are not residents on campus. Also the average age of students at those places is usually higher as some are going to college later in life. So I believe that there will be much more thought out overall compliance policy forthcoming from those institutions.
On a slightly different point, I have also noticed, excluding private universities,who have almost all opted out, that the majority of the push back has been from UT in Austin. I have read some of the initial proposals from other campuses regarding the implementation policies, and for the most part it looks as though there is at least a genuine effort to comply with the letter as well as the intent of the law, I also have not seen campus wide protests or statements from educators( I use that term loosely) denouncing the new law as much as I have from UT. Maybe it's happening and it's not as widely reported, but I haven't heard anything from A&M, Tech, or even some of the smaller Universities, Tarelton, Sul Ross, Sam Houston, or Stephen F. Austin.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread with a different topic.
