 Noting the difficulties caused by the piecemeal desegregation of the University of Texas at Austin, the committee recommended that, when ETSC finally desegregates, it should do so completely and entirely.On June 6, 1964, the Board of Regents ordered the desegregation of all state colleges within the system, mandating that they admit "all qualified applicants, regardless of race".The decree only applied to ETSC and Sam Houston State College, the last two schools in the system that had not yet integrated.
