Welsh did not say how he would respond to legislation proposing to change the role of faculty senates on Texas campuses.Over the past decade, the flagship university has grown by more than 18,000 students. This year, enrollment is slightly more than 72,000, making it one of the largest universities in the country. Now, university officials are examining whether the school should cool down enrollment efforts and let staffing and infrastructure catch up to its student population.
“We have to make sure that we are as efficient as we can be in the ways we're spending all the funding we have available on campus now, so we prioritize the right things and do our part to meet the intent of his executive order,” Welsh said. “It’s not a showstopper. It may slow things down a little bit, but hopefully it'll also help us sharpen our focus.”
A multi-case settlement is expected to change all that and require schools to set aside around $20 million each year in revenue to directly pay athletes.
