The state's highest-ranking black leaders are disappointed that yet another year is passing with no black regents on the University of Texas System board. Sens. Royce West and Borris Miles, the only African Americans serving in the Texas Senate, said Gov. Greg Abbott missed an opportunity to add diversity to the board this year by failing to recommend a black regent. Now, they will have to wait another two years to hope to be represented.
