at Texas Southern University
Texas Southern University was among seven institutions earmarked
as the National Transportation Security Centers of Excellence in the
Improving America’s Security Act of 2007, U.S. Congress House Rule
XXI, clause (9)(4), Section 1205, which was signed by President
George W. Bush on August 3, 2007. The Earmarks, which provide $18
millions dollars annually, are intended to conduct research and
education activities, and to develop or provide professional
security training, including the training of transportation
employees and transportation professionals. Texas Southern
University will join the other two institutions Tougaloo College and
the University of Connecticut to co-lead the program, which also
includes four other institutions, Rutgers, The State University of
New Jersey, Long Island University, University of Arkansas, and San
Jose State University. The joint effort of these seven national
institutions, all of which have excellent transportation programs,
are expected to provide the highest educational and research
services to improve the national transportation security.
