"Texas lawmakers plan to look at college costs and tuition deregulation as they try to solve a projected billion-dollar-plus shortfall in a state prepaid college tuition plan.
The Texas House Appropriations Committee will review the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan in the context of providing more avenues for Texans to get a college education, said state Rep. Richard Pena Raymond, D-Laredo, the committee’s vice chairman. Tuition deregulation will likely be discussed as college expenses soar during hard economic times, he said Thursday.
He said he expects recommendations by next November in preparation for the 2011 legislative session."
