House Higher Education Committee
On Wednesday, the House Higher Education Committee considered a number of bills related to tuition rates. DCCCD is particularly interested in HB 1568, which would authorize a tuition exemption for district employees. [More about HB 1568]
We also are interested in HB 685, which would provide a fixed tuition rate for a period of two years. [More about HB 685]
The committee also heard HB 3267, which would change the criteria for awarding Texas Grants. This legislation is one of a handful of bills that would seek to change these criteria -- and not in a way that necessarily benefits most DCCCD students. More discussion will come next week on this issue. [More about HB 3267]
