Texas tuition and bond plan faces House vote at UT campuses
The House acts quickly on a revenue bill funding seven University of Texas facilities, including Houston medical and San Antonio dental schools, El Paso nursing, and Dallas San Antonio campuses. The plan would cost about 252 million over 30 years to repay 110 million in bonds, with 12 million from general revenue in the first two years. Opposition cited by Sen. Roy Harrington argues the measure abandons pay-as-you-go practices. The bill also proposes tuition increases for Texas residents and out-of-state students, while separate measures discuss reorganizing the State Department of Public Welfare into a State Department of Human Resources and altering welfare oversight. Officials note the plan would remove matching funds requirements and LEAA approvals, allowing states more discretion in crime prevention funding.
