I received this in an email from the Alumni Organization. This would be great if they restored this fund.
Quote:Actions Being Taken to Restore Research (Tier 1) Funds
The Legislative Budget Board (LBB) has posted a hearing for Monday, August 23, to initiate restoration of the higher education excellence funds vetoed last year. Last Friday, Governor Rick Perry issued a press release endorsing the restoration of the funds. The funds may be restored under a process known as "Budget Execution," which requires action by the LBB and the Governor. The August 23 hearing is the first step in the process.
How You Can Help:
Please take a minute to write a note to or call LBB members and the Governor to thank them for their efforts to restore the funds. Three of the members of the LBB are from Houston: Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, Senator John Whitmire (a UH alumnus) and Representative Talmadge Heflin.
