Austin State University ==== On November 29, 2022, the Board of Regents of [[Stephen F. Austin State University]] (SFA) announced their decision to accept an invitation to join the UT System. This decision occurred following an announcement at the start of the fall semester by SFA President Steve Westbrook that the board was considering joining a system. At the time, Stephen F. Austin was one of two independent public universities in Texas, alongside [[Texas Southern University]]. The Texas A&M University System, the Texas Tech University System, and the Texas State University System all extended invitations as well. The decision to join the UT System was made following a process that included faculty, staff, student, and alumni input.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=McGee |first=Kate |date=2022-11-29 |title=Stephen F.

Austin's addition to the UT System was approved by the Texas Legislature during the 2023 session.
