Passed in 2003 by the Texas Legislature, House Bill 3015 deregulated tuition and enacted requirements that all public universities set aside a certain amount (up to 20%) of every student’s tuition each semester in order to fund needs-based financial assistance programs for other Texas residents. After passage of an amendment (Sec. 56.014) in 2009, universities were then required to send notification of this practice to impacted 学生.
In the spring semester of 2010, 学生 of Texas colleges began receiving notices from their respective universities that a portion of their tuition (15% for undergraduate and 15% for graduate 学生) had been “set aside” for needs-based financial assistance programs for Texas residents as required by the Texas Education Code (Sections 56.01; 56.012, 56.014和56.465).
