How are the nine UT academic campuses developing tuition plans?
Each campus in the UT System developed a plan which included consulting with students and other constituencies before making a recommendation for new tuition rates. The consultation plans vary from campus to campus, but all plans include the appointment of a tuition advisory committee, public/community open forums, various kinds of surveys, and other general input. Constituencies whose counsel is sought include student organizations, individual students, academic deans, alumni associations, faculty governance groups, staff council representatives, and others. Issues considered include operating and capital budget forecasts, enrollment forecasts, faculty strength, repair and renovation needs, and financial aid needs.
