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.

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.
