继上周德州大学奥斯汀分校(U. of Texas at Austin)校长对德州大学系统董事会决定学费冻涨公开抗议後，最近大学学费调涨在德州成为一个很大的争议点。虽然德大校长说明若学费不涨，将影响教学和研究的品质，但校董会以学费调涨使学生和家长无法负担为由，决议德大系统的该旗监分校今(2012)年不得再涨学费。
目前德州公立高等教育的成本每年大约是7,000美金，但实际上各校的差异是一个很大的级距，以德州农工大学(Texas A&M U.)Texarkana分校的学杂费每年4,946美元为最低，而德州大学(U. Of Texas) Dallas分校每年11,168美金则最为昂贵。
除了德州大学(U. of Texas)系统内的Austin 和Arlington分校外，其他分校的学杂费在暑假以後将再调涨，Arlington分校则事前就说明他们明(2013)年一定会涨学费。德州农工大学(Texas A&M U.)校长Loftin今年并未向校董提出学费调涨的申请，但也说明今年是特例。
要兼顾高等教育的品质和学生的学费负担能力，再加上州政府的补助年年喊砍，这些都让茶壶里的风暴再度蕴酿。尤其是上周在德大校董会对学费调涨案作出最後决议以前，州长Perry即公开对记者们表示，包括Obama总统、他个人、州高等教育局局长、甚至德大校董会主席等主流势力都不愿学费再涨，德大奥斯汀分校的Powers校长的喊涨显然是选错边。
