Texas universities

An enrollment drop could cost the Texas economy hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the reports.

New laws range from school vouchers and water infrastructure funding to a ban on city and county-funded abortion travel funds.

The state isn't providing schools with guidance and advocates say students who still qualify for lower rates are being asked to pay thousands more.

While other universities move to preserve the advisory bodies, Texas State will abolish them under a new state law that curtails faculty's influence on campuses.

The higher court's ruling comes as part of the church's lawsuit against SMU, which has challenged the authority UMC has over the university.

The directive comes after a court rescinded undocumented students' eligibility for in-state tuition. It's unclear what information schools might ask from students and how their immigration data will be protected.

Lawmakers also approved direct pay for student athletes and sought better pathways from college to the workforce.

Their filing says the lawsuit that struck down in-state tuition for undocumented students was "contrived" to keep their voices out.

Advocates and policy groups argue ending in-state tuition for students without legal status will hurt the state's economy.

Colleges across Texas have been waiting patiently for the dynamics to change when it comes to athlete compensation with the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement.
