Are they raising tuition for those with families who make over that?

so what about if your family makes $65,001?

Or $65,100?
Pretty simple math. $65,001.00 > $65,000.00 so, you’re out.

Yep, it's how they'll afford to give free tuition.

Don't forget the additional "white tax" for all the white students.

Sounds like some lawsuits are about to go down.


I’m sure they didn’t consult any lawyers before making this decision.

As long as the parents aren’t claiming them as dependents. You would also have to live at your own address and have your own bills, car insurance, etc. including cut off of health insurance. You’re going through a lot of trouble and costs for what amounts to fraud. Bad idea.

You guys VASTLY underestimate how much oil money the UT system has. It's insane how much land out west is theirs.


Perspective:

My brother attended Austin mid 80s out of state.

His good grades there earned him free tuition. Same oil money then.

So royalties from publicly held land is benefiting only a certain percentage of the state’s population?

How’s this not a hidden tax on those making over 65k?

Coach: Son, bad news is we have reached the max on football scholarships.

Good news is your family income guarantees free tuition.
Throw in some grant money and a few dollars from a "summer" job and you can report in August for practice.

Wouldn’t a degree essentially become worthless if everyone ends up getting one because it’s free?

Degrees are becoming worthless because the govt is trying to give everybody one. The cost doesn't matter

I'm not really surprised on your complete inability to pick up on blatant sarcasm. Everyone else did.

This begs to be gamed by a really wealthy family.

Pay yourself 64K during the years to qualify.
