- Committee releases 58-page report on ‘The Eyes of Texas’
- Panel finds that 1903 school standard has ‘no racist intent’
The University of Texas’ long-awaited report on ‘The Eyes of Texas’ has found that the school song has “no racist intent”, but the school president said athletes and band members will not be required to sing or participate when the song is played at games and campus events.
The 58-page report, released Tuesday, was commissioned last year by school president Jay Hartzell after a group of Texas athletes, most notably football players, demanded the school drop the song as part of racial injustice protests.
