What is the universitys strategy for addressing budget deficits in future years beyond raising tuition?
The student share (tuition) of addressing the deficit is only one part of a three-part strategy. Additional funding must also come from the state and other university sources. The university will continue to stress the importance of the investment in higher education to the Texas Legislature. The university will continue cost-saving measures. The university will continue to seek additional resources from donors. Ultimately, if additional revenues are not collected, many proposed enhancements to the education experience at the university will not be implemented.
