Tuition & Fees Agenda • Financial Environment • President Wright’s Budget Philosophy • FY14 Fee Requests • Public Comments
Financial Environment • The State of Texas has experienced increased revenue following the “great recession” but many budget pressures remain for the state to deal with. • Currently, the economic environment is stable and some economists are projecting growth in the near term. • There is an increased focus on student affordability and performance outcomes. • This upcoming biennium will be a challenge for PVAMU with a potential move to performance based funding and the loss of the hold harmless funds.
President Wright’s Budget Philosophy • PVAMU students deserve a high quality education. • Students can get a cheap education. • But, there is no such thing as a good, cheap education. • A degree from PVAMU is an INVESTMENT in YOUR future.
President Wright’s Budget Philosophy-Continued • PVAMU must do its part to minimize increases as much as possible. • Accordingly, • There will be no University tuition increase for FY14. • Only University-wide fee increases approved by student vote during a referendum will be assessed in FY14.
