Student walking on campus in the fall
   FEEDBACK FOR FALL   
Happy fall, y’all! UNT Weekly strives to provide students with important news and information in one convenient email. We need your help to measure how you use UNT Weekly to see how we’re doing. Take this short survey so we can find out what you are most interested in reading about. 
Submit your name and email address at the end of the survey if you’d like to be entered into a random drawing to win a UNT T-shirt. If not, your response will remain anonymous.

   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.
