Texas A & M favors campus students

You know, those poorer, working class people attend the other A & M schools. Make them pay more.

Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp and Board of Regents Chair Richard Box have yet to explain why tuition was held flat at the flagship College Station campus while allowed to rise at nine of the System’s 10 other campuses.

But a curious trend occurred, as the situation with tuition was the same at the University of Texas System: Designated undergraduate tuition also was allowed to rise at all of the UT System’s schools, aside from the flagship Austin campus. Tuition at the systems was decided in board meetings a day apart last month.

Critics say regents, all of whom have now been appointed by Gov. Rick Perry, made decisions about tuition based on politics and not sound policy: They held tuition flat at the flagship campuses to send a political message about affordability at the state’s only two public tier-one research universities, but failed to recognize the universities’ unique missions.

Rick Perry loves his cronies, hates real people.
