There’s just no way at this point in our history that pretty much any state, and especially Texas, is going to freely offer anything of any value whatsoever to poor people without some strings attached or some sort of hidden agenda.
Willing to bet it somehow comes down to grifting money from the State to the University administration.
Or this is something completely not involving the State in any way, and they’ll respond to try and block it somehow, citing socialism and other bullshit.
the ut system could probably fund it themselves internally, they do have a ~ $45 billion endowment. but that wouldn’t stop the state legislature and abbott from trying to control what the institutions can do with their own money.
All major colleges and universities turn away thousands per year. They can still see fluctuations in enrollment. Applications and enrollments are not the same.
I wonder what the catch is.

the state of Maine already has this for associate degrees, I’m surprised that Texas is doing it but, it does rarely happen

They may have just seen a drop in enrollment. For schools and universities had count is dollar count.
UT turns away thousands of applicants every year

Ok, well UT’s enrollment is stable and has nothing to do with this
