Senate Higher Ed Chair Seliger takes aim at college tuition

"Tuition relief and predictability is necessary for Texas students and families”

Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, filed three Higher Education bills Thursday aimed reducing costs for college students through several measures that regulate tuition.

The first, Senate Bill 18, would repeal a state law that necessitates institutions of higher education set aside a portion of a student’s tuition for financial aid, which can be used by other students in need of financial assistance.
