Texas State University Applied Research Projects
The Student Housing Problem: An Exploratory Study of San Marcos, TexasPurpose: The purpose of this applied research project is to explore the antecedents, processes, and impacts of San Marcos, Texas off-campus student housing policy, with emphasis on installment lease agreements. Method: The study uses San Marcos, Texas as a case study and focuses on the relationships between Texas State University, purpose-built off-campus student apartments, and the city. The study utilizes pillar questions which uses document analysis, structured interviews, and historical archival methods to collect data. Findings: Findings showed that many purpose-built student housing complexes do not follow all the regulations under the Texas Property Code. Students also encounter issues with their roommates, excessive charges, and lease durations. Overall, City of San Marcos and Texas State University believe that the ACT agreement improved relationships for all involved, although some believe it is too one-sided.
Congress has effectively precluded all institutions of higher education from reorganizing in the bankruptcy courts because it was concerned about exploitative profiteers opening fly-by-night colleges, defrauding students, and then finding refuge in bankruptcy. This choice harms students, employees, creditors, and communities. As such, this Article advocates that Congress should reverse its decision and allow IHEs to reorganize in bankruptcy without losing access to federal student loan and grant programs. To support this argument, this Article contrasts the bankruptcy treatment of healthcare enterprises to that of higher education enterprises. In doing so, this Article builds on my own prior work and contributes to the literature on higher education bankruptcies.
