Major Budget Cuts in the Future for Texas' Top Universities

The Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that a meeting on February 9th left the officials of Texas' major public universities less than pleased when they were told that their budgets could be cut by up to 20-25%.
The proposal will affect such major university systems as the University of Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech along with all of their satellite campuses. If the bill gets passed then both current and prospective students will have to worry about a significant cut in financial aid which Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, chancellor of the UT board of regents, thinks will hinder the possibility of college for hundreds of students.
