Reaction to Gov. Greg Abbott ordering Texas colleges to freeze tuition for next two years

[@AwesomeBabyBoomer]

That is a start. The next thing is to make the University quit forcing students to take classes they don't actually need for their degree

[@xXWOAT13Xx]

no i gotta say, as a texas university student, these classes are impertinent for a well-rounded education

[@AwesomeBabyBoomer]

@xXWOAT13Xx For example, my degree is in cybersecurity. If I were at U.T. I would have to get a degree in Computer Science. My end game is cybersecurity/forensics, but UT will make me take biology, chemistry, and calculus. 3 classes I do not need to take for cybersecurity work with forensics.

Interesting that he waited for a Trump presidency to do this

29K/yr in tuition and fees seems crazy when you know that TTU is only 11-12K/yr. Where on earth does that money go?

When it's really quiet at the universities, you can just barely hear China and all other developed countries laughing their azzes off at us.

[@artlesscalamity]

So they intend to deconstruct the Dept. of Education (where funding for grants and loans come from) and also tell colleges that they can't cover it for themselves either?

😂 kids these days know college is a scam.

[@---Tre---]

So, Republicans are in favor of price fixing now?

Colleges a business how dare he try to tell businesses how they run them I mean that’s what they’re in for a business. Yes college is extremely expensive. It’s interesting. How United States is 17 trillion in jet with credit cards courts excuse credit cards they allow people to go bankruptcy but the fact is, when it comes to student forgiveness who already have a college education active careers, they are successful and society and when they need to have forgiveness Texas Abbott block and says nope we’re not giving them that type of freedom but he’s going to try to tell people how to run their business for the next two years but you know why reason 2026 Abbott up for a relay electionget that cancer out of control I can’t believe I said it. It’s not been a week or two and I’m saying vote Abbott out.

And I’m saying you barely know how to speak English.
