Concerning: A Potential Policy effecting families and
individuals
This is important because however these funds will be
dispersed will effects everyone at Texas State somehow.
My Views: Learning
that Texas State will potentially have a budget surplus is great news! Always
hearing about how much the government is struggling with debt, it is nice to
hear that a community that you are a part of is thriving. Now for the ways they
might plan on spending the money is debatable. If I were to choose out of the
options that they have spoken about in this article, I would definitely vote
for bonuses for teachers that deserve
it. For me personally, I would like to see more parking structures. We built a
huge pay for parking garage which a pass everyday on the bus and is basically
empty. I am graduating in like a month
so it doesn’t really concern me all that much but for them to say that we are
going to have even more students come to the school, we already have full
parking lots, and unsafe buses that are packed to the brim at peak hours. That
is just my opinion but I do see the need to for money to be spent on current teachers
and potentially new hires. Another idea would be to allow students who work on
campus to make more than minimum wage. Although there are plenty of ways the
money can be spent, I am sure it will be spent wisely and appropriately.
