Plan seeks to upgrade colleges in Texas By Crystal Yednak Star-Telegram Staff Writer AUSTIN -- Texas higher education officials adopted a road map Thursday that they hope will lead the state away from a future hampered by an undereducated work force that can't compete in high-tech jobs.

And with booming growth expected among minority groups who have historically been underrepresented on college campuses, that figure could continue to decline if higher education doesn't do a better job of reaching out to the population, the official said.
