• Gov. Abbott wants Texas public universities to offer 3-year college degrees (texarkanagazette.com) — From a Dallas dateline, Gov. Greg Abbott is pitching a plan to require Texas public universities to offer three-year, 90-credit bachelor's degrees in high-demand fields to cut costs and speed graduates into the workforce. The proposal, which still needs legislative approval, builds on tuition freezes and summer discounts already used at schools like UT Dallas, and could reshape how local students plan college.
