Then why are they taking tax dollars?
wouldnt you take money if it was offered to you?


Because if the governor wants to assert his will on UT, he will need leverage

Of all the things tax payer money gets wasted on, a college you think doesn't need it is where you're making your stand?

Should we actively monitor all universities revenue streams and lower taxes based on donations and other revenue streams?

LSU might suffer from their football program revenue.

I actually think this is a good idea if the kids earned it. Although I think there needs to be a sliding scale of support not some hard cut off

I'd imagine a degree from UT would be pretty valuable


depends on the recipient.

The wrong kind of person can absolutely waste it and the right kind of person can succeed without it.

UT Endowment reached $31 billion earlier this year. Now, the second largest. UT also easily have the largest number of billionaire alumni. Massive, massive deep pockets..

The UT President said this is their first step to try to be the first public university to model the ivy's pay whatever you can afford model. Good for them...

Good. Its getting tiring seeing these schools with massive endowments that never get touched constantly up their tuition as well. I mean I get it-they get guaranteed gubment check in the form of student loans so why not send tuition soaring, but that doesnt make the schools any better than other leaches off the government.
