History
The Board of Regents of Texas Tech University System established the system in 1996 to provide leadership and support for the combined academic enterprise.
Texas Tech University System was formally created by the Texas Legislature in 1999 to recognize the educational and research opportunities offered to faculty and students by its two institutions: Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. In 2007, after a groundswell of community support from the cities of San Angelo and Lubbock, Angelo State University became the third university to join the system.
