繼上周德州大學奧斯汀分校(U. of Texas at Austin)校長對德州大學系統董事會決定學費凍漲公開抗議後，最近大學學費調漲在德州成為一個很大的爭議點。雖然德大校長說明若學費不漲，將影響教學和研究的品質，但校董會以學費調漲使學生和家長無法負擔為由，決議德大系統的該旗監分校今(2012)年不得再漲學費。
目前德州公立高等教育的成本每年大約是7,000美金，但實際上各校的差異是一個很大的級距，以德州農工大學(Texas A&M U.)Texarkana分校的學雜費每年4,946美元為最低，而德州大學(U. Of Texas) Dallas分校每年11,168美金則最為昂貴。
除了德州大學(U. of Texas)系統內的Austin 和Arlington分校外，其他分校的學雜費在暑假以後將再調漲，Arlington分校則事前就說明他們明(2013)年一定會漲學費。德州農工大學(Texas A&M U.)校長Loftin今年并未向校董提出學費調漲的申請，但也說明今年是特例。
要兼顧高等教育的品質和學生的學費負擔能力，再加上州政府的補助年年喊砍，這些都讓茶壺里的風暴再度蘊釀。尤其是上周在德大校董會對學費調漲案作出最後決議以前，州長Perry即公開對記者們表示，包括Obama總統、他個人、州高等教育局局長、甚至德大校董會主席等主流勢力都不愿學費再漲，德大奧斯汀分校的Powers校長的喊漲顯然是選錯邊。
