FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, May 31, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas \u2014 The Texas A&M University System\u2019s Board of Regents will not increase tuition for fall 2022, Chairman of the Board Tim Leach said today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Board is very focused on making a college education affordable for all Texans and pledges to make accessibility and fairness our highest priority,\u201d Chairman Leach said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision impacts all 11 universities in the Texas A&M System. This includes Tarleton State University, which became a System member in 1917.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize there is inflation for running universities, but there is inflation on families and students as well,\u201d said Chancellor John Sharp. \u201cWe\u2019ve decided to manage our costs rather than raise tuition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chancellor Sharp credited the A&M System\u2019s ability to manage its costs to the state\u2019s elected officials who appropriated more money for higher education last year as well as the A&M System\u2019s conservative fiscal management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Consumer Price Index peaked at 8.5 percent for the year ending in March 2022, the largest 12-month advance since December 1981, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annual inflation rate slowed to 8.3 percent in April, but some economic sectors continued to see higher increases than the overall inflation rate. In April, energy prices were up 30.3%, food at 9.4%, new vehicles at 13.2% and shelter at 5.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
