TSC Trustees Jose Ramon Hinojosa, Jr. and Ruben Herrera (Mr. Herrera passed 3/2/24, Mr. Hinojosa, Jr. 8/22/17)

Shortly after the "Celebration of Life" ceremony for beloved TSC Trustee Ruben Herrera three weeks ago, a reader asked if a similar effort and expense had been made for TSC Trustee Jose Ramon Hinojosa, Jr, who passed in 2017.

We conveyed that query to the TSC administration via a Public Information Request and yesterday received this response:

Mr. Barton,

 

Attached are the documents responsive to your request.  There are no documents responsive to your request as to Mr. Hinojosa.

 

Thank you for your interest in Texas Southmost College.

What a wonderful send off for Mr. Herrera for a modest cost, but our reader wishes that Mr. Hinojosa would have received the same consideration.

Perhaps, this is a matter for TSC President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez to address for future situations.
