University Interscholastic League
The
University Interscholastic League was created by The University of
Texas at Austin to provide leadership and guidance to public school
debate and athletic teachers. Since 1910 the UIL has grown into the
largest inter-school organization of its kind in the world. The UIL
continues to operate as part of the University of Texas, under the
auspices of the Vice President for Diversity & Community Engagement.
The
UIL exists to provide educational extracurricular academic, athletic,
and music contests. The initials UIL have come to represent quality
educational competition administered by school people on an equitable
basis.
