AUSTIN — State university stu-
ents should pay “more realistic and
substantially higher tuition” and
, the chairman of the Council of
University Presidents told House
udget writers Tuesday.
I C. Robert Kemble, who also is
IrhanceUor of Lamar University, was
! he opening witness as the House
Appropriations Committee began
ooking at higher education — a
- rime target of the state’s austerity
program.
Kemble said college presidents
are "painfully cognizant” of the
.noney problems. But he asked com-
jihttee members to look at higher ed-
iication as “not a drain, but an eco-
isiomic asset.”
Kemble offered no specifics on tu
ition hikes beyond his call for “more
Vealistic and substantially higher na
tion.”
■ Texas state college tuition is
■mong the lowest in the nation at $4
pier hour, and Kemble said fees paid
by students should be increased “50
percent or so.”
The 26 percent cut proposed by
the Legislative Budget Boardcomes
while other states, escaping several
years of recession, are increasing col
lege funds an average of 16 percent,
he said.
“Higher education is being asked
to bear a disproportionate share of
the burden,” Kemble said of the
Legislature’s effort to close a $1 bil
lion spending gap.
Speaker Gib Lewis said Tuesday
he hopes the colleges end up with no
more than a 10 percent cut.
He said tuition hikes would be the
best way to find money for the uni
versities, but he added, “That’s
going to be a little bit of money, not a
great deal.”
Amid talk of combining or closing
some campuses, the university presi
dents also called on lawmakers to
avoid consolidation of state colleges.
“That is exactly the wrong way to
go,” said Kemble.
