	1845, by an act of the Congress of the Republic of Texas; it is the
	oldest continuously operating university in the state, and the

	plan that was adopted in 2024, is committed to equipping students to
	flourish, to broadening interdisciplinary research and impact, to
	building a vibrant, caring, and global community, and to
	demonstrating Christian stewardship; and
	WHEREAS, Baylor University is also home to a variety of
	exceptional athletic programs, with more than 500 student-athletes
	participating in 19 sports; Baylor's teams compete at the highest
	level and consistently rank among the Big 12's and the nation's

	its myriad achievements; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
