A proposal for tuition adjustment at the University of Texas at Tyler would help alleviate cuts made to the budget by the portion funded by the state and go to support new student initiatives.
The Board of the Regents of the University of Texas at Tyler still needs to approve this proposal, which would increase tuition for the nest two academic years yet focus on new student programs and initiatives. The next meeting of the Board is in February.
President of the University of Texas at Tyler, Dr. Michael Tidwell, said that as the mission of the school is student success, so it is important that there are the resources in place to fund this mission. Student success is measured by support of the individual students and improved graduation rates which enables the students to follow lucrative career paths.
Assistant vice president for legislative relations and strategic initiatives, Laura Jackson, discussed the proposed tuition increase with many in the community, including students, over the past several months. Students, however, felt that the university “represents the best value in higher education in East Texas,” with still the lowest tuition and lowest student-teacher ratio among the four state-sponsored four-year universities in the area.
