Texas House passes steep tuition hike for state colleges
The Texas House approved a bill to massively raise tuition at public colleges and universities, including medical and dental schools, to offset possible budget cuts. Non resident rates would rise sharply, with resident undergraduates seeing annual increases to $20 per semester hour by 1989. The measure also reallocates some revenue to need based aid and emergency loans. The session also advanced a ban on drinking while driving, though open container penalties remain limited to drivers.
