The possibility of severe Texas Equalization Grant cuts has caused leaders of colleges and universities across the state to speak out on behalf of the financial aid program. Today, President Ken Starr will send an email to members of the Baylor family, calling them to support the TEG program and contact their state legislators to express concerns about the proposed cuts to the program.

Baylor administrators will engage in “an orchestrated lobbying effort” to combat bills in the Texas Legislature that could require Baylor to allow licensed students to bring concealed weapons onto campus.
