Texas changes mind on refund policy changes
The Texas Higher Education Tuition Board has reversed its August 2009 decision that would have eliminated the payment of tuition-based earnings on refunds requested from the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan. The decision to reverse the change was spurred by an outcry from plan participants and approved at a Nov. 5 2009 board meeting. The reversal becomes official when the board meets again on Dec. 23 2009 to vote on it.
