Wallace L. Hall is a member of The University of Texas System Board of Regents. Hall was appointed to a six-year term in February 2011 by Governor Rick Perry. Following his appointment as a regent in 2011, Hall began examining political favoritism and forgivable loan programs at The University of Texas at Austin. He was the first to publicly raise concerns about legislative influence on the admissions process. A state legislative committee subsequently initiated controversial impeachment proceedings against him. The proceedings were eventually dropped but led to a censure by the committee for “misconduct, incompetency in the performance of official duties, or behavior unbefitting a nominee for and holder of a state office.” 〔http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/ut-regent-wallace-hall-controversy-investigation-and-impeachment Texas Monthly〕 In response Hall said; “The committee’s findings are based on distortions, untruths and intentional misrepresentations,” On February 12, 2015 an investigation ordered by UT System found that Bill Powers, the president of UT Austin, had repeatedly helped applicants, including those with questionable academic credentials, gain admission if they had been recommended by legislators and influential people.〔http://www.wsj.com/articles/president-of-university-of-texas-at-austin-faulted-on-admissions-1423786177 Wall Street Journal UT Faulted〕 This was widely described as vindication of Hall and a validation of his concerns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report: Powers Overruled UT Admissions Office )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UT President Bill Powers overruled admissions office, report says )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The State of Texas: February 13, 2015 )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gun bills on different paths; ‘snippy’ over border security? )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turmoil resumes at UT over admissions, records requests )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Celebrates Fourth of July By Ousting Corrupt UT Austin President )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Admissions Report Chips at Austin Chief’s Uncompromising Reputation )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turmoil resumes at UT over admissions, records requests )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year finalist: Wallace Hall )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UT Regent Uncovered Waste, Fraud And Abuse...
