| Remarks | IMPLEMENTED |
| Whereas | A one (1) percent cut of all state agencies, including state-supported institutions of higher education, was instituted a few weeks ago; and |
| Whereas | This 1% cut resulted in an estimated $700,000 loss to UTA; and |
| Whereas | Article 3 of the House Bill 10 in the Texas Legislature, the 1991-93 appropriations bill, endorses cuts in higher education up to 14%, with an average cut of 9%, which would result in multi-million dollar budgect decrease for UTA and other Texas colleges and universities; and |
| Whereas | Higher education should, because of its fundamental role in our society, be a priority to Texas legislators. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Student Congress, the official representative body for UTA's 25,000 member student community, condemns the actions proposed in Article 3 of H.B. 10 and any additional budget cuts that may be proposed in the future; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | This resolution be routed to state legislators to officially register our views on this proposal. |
