New Texas Law Reportedly Requires Risk Management Course

[SWTXBelle]

Are they going to require sports teams, bands, and other social groups on campus to take the course? Stories I've heard about A & M Corps and Band hazing make most fraternities look like Girl Scout troops.

OMG, the Corps at A&M. One year, they thought that the funniest thing ever was to crawl around under the table and set each others' napkins on fire. That's the kind of mindset we're talking about.

I am pretty sure Texas Tech already has this in place (since the OP mentioned Lubbock). If I remember correctly the Risk Management Chair, Panhellenic Chair, and the President are required to attend and the rest of the chapter members are welcome to attend.

Of course not. It's easier to single out GLOs, since we're the only ones causing the REAL problems

This is just part of Bill:
"(b) This section applies only to a student organization that is registered at a postsecondary educational institution and that is composed mostly of students enrolled at the institution. Notwithstanding Section 1.001(a), this section applies to each postsecondary educational institution at which is registered one or more student organizations."....

"The selection of student organizations or types of student organizations under the policy must be based on the institution's determination that those organizations or types of organizations could particularly benefit from risk management guidance. Each advisor who has not previously attended a program under this section and each person serving in a designated officer position of a student organization that is required to have representatives attend a program under this section shall attend the program. An institution may allow an advisor, other than a faculty or staff member of the institution, to satisfy the attendance requirements prescribed by this subsection through completion of an appropriate computer-based risk assessment program."
