Balancing UT’s budget and rising tuition: Where does the University’s money come from and where does it go? - Maria Mendez, Daily Texan

UT President Gregory Fenves proposed 2 percent tuition increases for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 academic years last December. Now, the future of every UT student's tuition will be up to the UT System Board of Regents. The UT System has not yet set a date for a decision, but tuition increases for the next two academic years can only occur with the Board's approval. If the proposal is approved by the Board, undergraduate in-state tuition, which totals about $5,200 per semester, will rise by $104 in the fall of 2018, and by another $106 in the fall of 2019. Out-of-state undergraduates and graduate students would see similar increases. Students under the Longhorn Fixed Tuition will not be affected. Before submitting an official proposal in December, the University asked students for feedback. But students still took to social media concerned and confused about the rising tuition. http://dailytexanonline.com/2018/02/22/balancing-ut%E2%80%99s-budget-and-rising-tuition-where-does-the-university%E2%80%99s-money-come-from-and
