Texas State University System

The Texas State University System, abbreviated TSUS, is a public university system based in Austin, Texas, United States. It was created in 1911 to oversee the state's normal schools and has since broadened its focus to institutions of many scopes. It is the only public university system in Texas without a flagship university. Its four comprehensive universities are Lamar University, Sam Houston State University, Sul Ross State University and Texas State University, and it also includes three two-year colleges. A nine-member Board of Regents appointed by the governor of Texas governs it, and a chancellor based in Austin heads the administration. In this atlas it is the governing system of Texas State University, the academic home of the geographic profiling scholar Kim Rossmo.
