AUSTIN - The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, along with pro bono counsel Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP and Bernabei & Kabat PLLC, have received an order from a federal district court, to intervene in SFFA v. University of Texas at Austin on behalf of three organizations and a diverse group of eight students.
The Burnt Orange Mafia at the University of Texas–the inner circle of overpaid administrators, influence-wielding donors, supplicant vendors, and political hacks who approve UT’s inflated budget in exchange for preferential admission for their (and supporters’) unqualified children–want to raise “protection money” to ensure UT receives friendly treatment in the upcoming legislative session.
TPWD Historic Sites Branch received a $25,000 grant from the National Park Service to study the effects of the Bastrop fire on historic structures, such as this pavilion built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 1930s inside Bastrop State Park, which was damaged during last year's wildfire. Results from this study are expected to serve as data that can be applied to other historic structues impacted by wildfires nationwide.
