UT System Pushing 4-Year Tuition Option
University of Texas System regents have ordered their schools to offer students a four-year fixed-rate tuition option by fall 2014.
After a decade of rising costs, Gov. Rick Perry has been pushing universities to offer students fixed-rate tuition plans and the Legislature is considering putting it into state law.
The University of Texas System has nine campuses with about 216,000 students. The UT-Dallas campus has used a mandatory four-year tuition plan since 2008. UT-El Paso has had an optional plan since 2006.
The regents on Thursday ordered the other seven campuses to offer four-year plans. Each campus would set the tuition rate.
Supporters say it will encourage students to graduate on time.
