Texas Southmost College will begin meeting with the employees who worked for the school before it began its partnership with the University of Texas at Brownsville in 1992.

Board also will consider renaming buildings, get update on hiring process  

The Texas Southmost College board of trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday to consider salary schedules and local policies on such issues as term contract employment, at will employment and nepotism.

The board will also hear an update on the college’s hiring process and an announcement on the process relating to the educational partnership cooperation contract regarding personnel.

Board members will also consider a contract with Sequel-Data Systems to buy an HP server and the renaming of the Arnulfo L. Oliveira Library to the Arnulfo L. Oliveira Student Services Center and The Arts Center to the TSC Arts Center.

The meeting will take place in the Gorgas Hall boardroom.

Mariachi Ocelotetlán to perform during White Nights Festival in Russia

Brownville Mayor Tony Martinez and dozens of proud residents and parents said goodbye to UTB/TSC’s Mariachi Ocelotetlán as they prepared to leave for Russia this morning.

A U.S. magistrate has ordered tenured professor Susan Mills and President Juliet V. García to appear in federal court on May 22 regarding Mills’ request for a preliminary injunction from termination from the University of Texas at Brownsville. 

U.S. Magistrate Ronald Morgan signed the order May 3. Morgan denied Mills’ a renewed request for a hearing on a temporary restraining order and ordered defendants García, Provost Alan Artibise, former College of Liberal Arts Dean Daniel Heimmermann and the university as a domestic political corporation to “file a brief” no later than May 17 concerning Mills’ request for a preliminary injunction.
