TEXAS UNIVERSITY FUND
In case you missed today’s Official Notice about the Texas University Fund — known as TUF — it is being proposed as a Texas Constitutional Amendment through Proposition 5 in the upcoming Nov. 7 election.
If approved by voters, Prop 5 would create the Texas University Fund, allowing more Texas universities to compete for research dollars from the federal government and private companies, making Texas more attractive for companies to create more jobs here.
There are four universities that currently would qualify for TUF dollars — Texas State, Texas Tech, University of Houston and the University of North Texas. Read more at unt.edu/tuf.
