Independent Colleges Seek State Funds in Texas Budget Talks
Texas' 42 independent colleges asked for 16.4 million dollars in state aid to stay competitive with public schools for two years. James M. Moody of Texas Christian University led the plea to the Senate Finance Committee, arguing many schools are quasi public and noting only Rice and South Texas Junior College are fully independent. Moody and supporters framed the request as needed to maintain a Christian atmosphere while balancing educational and religious aims.
