Abbott Orders Tuition Freeze Extended

Abbott Orders Tuition Freeze Extended

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Governor Greg Abbott is cracking down on tuition hikes across Texas public colleges, demanding all institutions hold the line on fees for the upcoming school year — even as some universities quietly plan increases for non-academic services like mental health and athletics. While schools cite rising student needs and costs, Abbott insists affordability is non-negotiable for Texas’s future workforce, pointing to recent state investments of over a billion dollars in higher education funding. He’s also pushing lawmakers to extend the freeze beyond 2026-2027, framing state support as essential to keeping college accessible for all Texans.
