Both the Texas House and Senate are proposing cuts in Higher Education funding for student financial aid. The aforementioned budget proposal will either completely remove or reduce a significant portion of the financial aid, therefore making aid inaccessible to Texas Students.
We are already facing fiscal issues due to the current state of the Texas economy and it is not acceptable for the state to reduce our source of funding. Student tuition will rise drastically, important courses will be eliminated, student services will be reduced and many more significant factors of our education will be either completely removed or will face funding reduction.
So, we are requesting that Texans unite as one voice in this great state and say NO to these inappropriate budget cuts.
Join us in the fight in state mandated funding cuts, and be a part of the collective voice that can influence your university and the future of Higher education in the State of Texas.
We, the undersigned, call on the Texas State Legislature to support higher education by providing adequate funding and avoid any plans for budget cuts. We are already facing fiscal issues due to the current condition of the Texas economy and it is not acceptable for the state to reduce the source of vital, financial resources for our education.
We further call on the Texas State Legislature to keep the standard of Texas financial grants and aids. We demand the right to receive an education and it is unreasonable for higher education to receive such a detrimental budget reduction from our elected leaders.
