HOUSTON — For years, Ruth Lopez Turley knew about the existence of data pointing to the educational inequality faced by minority students. She also knew there were few initiatives focused on closing the gap. Now, as director of the, which is housed at Rice University, she harnesses the information from these statistics to help improve the lives of students.
A recent example of how HERC’s research is used is reflected in our research projects focusing on Houston Independent School District Pre-K. Several years ago, HISD leaders asked HERC to evaluate its full-day pre-K. HISD provided full-day pre-K when the state only required half-day pre-K. Was there an event that made you realize there was a missing link between the data being generated and the decision-making process at school districts?

Prosecutor: Man who killed 6 in Texas deserves death penaltyHOUSTON (AP) — A frightened and wounded 4-year-old boy sought the protection of his already dead father during a brutal attack that ended in the killing of six family members, prosecutors said... One bullet to the temple Absolutely, deserves to be punished. A person may deserve the death penalty, but nobody, including a death-qualified jury, deserves to make that call.
