Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) and the Texas Legislative Budget Board released $26 million for TSU’s 2008 Reorganization Plan. The funds include $13 million for deferred maintenance and $12 million for TSU’s academic development initiative.

“These funds will help us improve our facilities and laboratories, and will allow us to expand our educational programs and provide the infrastructure necessary to support those programs,” Rudley said.

Texas Southern University has spent the last two years in the headlines because of financial mismanagement and the firing of former president Priscilla Slade.

Tuition is slated to increase by 9 percent next fall, to $2,670 for 12 undergraduate hours, the university reports. Seventeen professors were approved for tenure, giving them a pay boost of $3,000 each and the administration has added additional counseling for students in their junior year in an effort to increase graduation rates.
