Texas A&M University to receive 11.6% increase in funding

According to The Battalion, A&M will be receiving an 11.6% increase in funding from the State Legislature. The increase will take place starting in 2008. While I'm happy to see the legislature is giving A&M more money, I don't see it causing a decrease in tuition or fees, so it doesn't really help students, who have been overburdened financially in this era of tuition deregulation. The University will most likely look at it as a financial bonus, and budget it that way.
