The Texas A&M system board of regents agrees to raise fees for three existing graduate level programs at the flagship campus. But two of the nine regents voted no to increase fees for two existing graduate programs at the Mays Business School and one existing graduate program in the College of Arts and Sciences because they were against any increases. There were unanimous votes approving a fee change in another Mays graduate program that was determined to be cost neutral, and to set fees in two new Mays graduate programs. Click HERE to read and download background on what was approved at the November 7, 2024 board of regents meeting. During the November 7th meeting of the regents finance committee, John Bellinger of San Antonio said he will continue to vote against increases until the system adopts an efficiency program at all system universities. Mike Hernandez of Fort Worth also voted no. That’s after president Mark Welsh told Hernandez during the finance committee meeting that he did not know if an attempt was made to offset some of the additional expenses. Welsh did say that he is calling on next year’s budget submissions from the colleges on the main campus to identify a percentage of their budget that could eliminate existing programs to pay for new programs.

It was business as usual Tuesday (November 12) at Bryan ISD’s Stephen F. Austin (SFA) middle school. That follows a student on Monday (November 11) setting a small fire in a first floor bathroom. A Bryan police spokesman says toilet paper had been set on fire on the floor of the restroom that was occupied by a group of students. BISD’s central office sent WTAW News a letter from SFA’s principal, telling parents that Monday’s fire was extinguished by school staff, there was no evacuation, and no one was injured. SFA’s school resource officer arrested the student on an arson charge and taken to the juvenile detention center.
