Financial Environment
 The State of Texas has experienced increased revenue
following the “great recession” but many budget
pressures remain for the state to deal with.
 Currently, the economic environment is stable and
some economists are projecting growth in the near
term.
 There is an increased focus on student affordability and
performance outcomes.
 This upcoming biennium will be a challenge for PVAMU
with a potential move to performance based funding
and the loss of the hold harmless funds.

President Wright’s Budget
Philosophy
• PVAMU students deserve a high quality education.
• Students can get a cheap education.
• But, there is no such thing as a good, cheap
education.
• A degree from PVAMU is an INVESTMENT in
YOUR future.
President Wright’s Budget
Philosophy-Continued
• PVAMU must do its part to minimize increases as
much as possible.
• Accordingly,
• There will be no University tuition increase for FY14.
• Only University-wide fee increases approved by student
vote during a referendum will be assessed in FY14.
