AUSTIN (March 15, 2010)-Students at the University of Texas and Texas A&M have approved proposals to add a few bucks to the fees they pay to help their schools go greener and similar referenda on environmentally-friendly funds are planned next month at UT-El Paso, the University of North Texas and UT-San Antonio.
Regents would have to approve the fees, $5 a semester at UT and $3 a semester at A&M, before the green funds could take effect.
The fees could be added to 2011 tuition bills.
The money could be used for environmentally minded measures such as subsidizing internships at green-related jobs.
A 2009 state law allows allowing public colleges and universities in Texas to establish such fees if the student body supports them.
