Regents push for four year status of UTPB amid funding strains
Regents chair A G McNeese Jr. said the University of Texas System will press for four year status for the Permian Basin campus as funding remains a key challenge. He noted legislative resistance but pledged to work with lawmakers to present UTPB needs while predicting tuition taxes will constrain education dollars. McNeese praised UTPB President Bill Amstead and opened new UTPB facilities before classes begin September 4, with ongoing budget pressures and calls for higher faculty loads to meet growing student demand. Separately, Leonardo Ortega Lopez was charged with auto theft from Top Notch Auto Sales and released on bond.
