The leaders of the state’s six biggest university systems are seeking the money to fund...
in mid-December, the university chancellors asked for more general-revenue funding as well as more funding for university employee health insurance and the program that gives free college tuition to military veterans and their children.
The letter is signed by six chancellors: James Milliken of the University of Texas System, John Sharp of the Texas A&M University System, Renu Khator of the University of Houston System, Michael R. Williams of the University of North Texas System, Tedd Mitchell of the Texas Tech University System and Brian McCall of the Texas State University System.
In the letter, the chancellors argue that today’s students require more hands-on tutoring and advising, increased mental health support and better technology services at a time when “inflation, supply-chain delays, and skilled labor shortages” are creating challenges. But funding per semester credit hour, which the Legislature uses to determine how much money a public university receives based on the type of class and enrollment, has continued to decline since 2008. Then, universities received $59.02 per weighted credit hour. Last session, lawmakers approved a $55.65 weighted credit hour for the biennium.at a public university increased by 27 percent between 2014 and 2021, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
