I missed my interview today for a silly reason. I just emailed the individual(s) I set up my interview with and quickly rescheduled through my original booking.
How screwed am I? I'm nearly about to throw up over this, especially because I really needed this job.
It might be over.
Today's NYT on the Orwellian leadership in Lubbock.
From the article: "Mr. Creighton, who is from Conroe, Texas, north of Houston, earned a bachelor’s degree in government from the University of Texas at Austin and a law degree from Oklahoma City University. He said his views on higher education were shaped, in part, by his own difficulties paying for college. "
Why was his tuition at Texas so expensive? It's an easy answer. In 1986 UT tripled tuition - increasing the price per unit to $12. There were protests on campus.
Even with that increase the state invested in undergraduate education, covering more than 75 percent of the cost. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s the state continued to replace state funds with tuition dollars - effectively taxing students to pay for state government.
Today the state covers about 10 percent of undergraduate education. GenX politicians got their education subsidized by taxpayers and now want future generations to "do it in their own, like I did." Except they didn't.

Has anyone received their student loan disbursement yet?
Genuinely need to get this off my chest. For reference I'm Asian and live in a house in North Campus.
I parked in front of my house after getting food just now. I ALWAYS lock my car until I hear exactly 3 beeps, and as I was walking away this sophomore or junior-ish looking lightskin dude was walking by across the street and started shouting "You dont have to lock your car 100 times just bc a black guy's walking past". I tried to explain I always do that and to calm him down (because he's yelling at me in front of my own house), then he starts going "okay chink, ching chong ling long fucking chink", something about eating noodles, and when I try to say something he starts just going "lalalala ching chong lalalalala" and walks away.
Dude looked perfectly normal and I feel like I've even recognized him from campus before. This is the 3rd time I've ever experienced racism on/near campus. Very surprisingly, they were all from black men. I don't know why or what I'm doing wrong and what I should be doing differently.
I’m aspiring to get into UT so I’m not a student at the moment, but right now I’m just trying to evaluate the costs. Whenever I used UT’s calculator, it made it look like I still have to pay $7000+ for housing even though I selected the “living with parents option.” My parents are around 30ish miles away from the campus, so roughly 50 minute drive for me. As a side question, would you say its a logically smarter decision to choose living with my parents > on campus living?
Last week, University of Texas President Jim Davis unveiled a proposal to change the core curriculum for all future Longhorns.
The plan, if approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and UT regents, could shift what students must learn, in part by decreasing the number of required courses.
Like the title says, did anyone get theirs today or recently? Mine was estimated to be paid out today and I haven’t seen it yet.
hey yall! i live on campus and sell a lot of. my clothes on depop. they use usps so is there anywhere i can drop off packages on campus? i don't have a car.
I’ll be there tomorrow. First year at UT I’m so excited and nervous
I am living in room A104 and I bought it as a community bathroom dorm room but I was looking at the floorplan and it seems to have this weird bathroom attachment and the shower is also attached to the hallway. The room is also directly connected to room A103. Not to mention that all the rooms on the floor are slightly different, but none are like mine. Should I be worried or happy?
Hi! I’m an incoming student and I will be living on West Campus without a car, so does anyone have any recommendations for any beauty services that would be easily accessible ?? I’m specifically looking for waxing/nails, thank you!!
lock in yall. stretch. crack your knuckles. enjoy the grind.
Hello I have been calling but the queue is too long. Tomorrow is the only day I can go in person until next week and I need to be seen ASAP. Has anyone gone in these last couple of days? How busy is it?
Hello Y'all. I am registering late this year (unfortunately </3 ) and this is most probably going to be my schedule. I joined a FIG to ensure I got the UGS016 UGS303 CH301 and M408C and added GEO as it was the only available GEO that fit the FIG and added VAPA to not take RHE this semester because I couldn't find it.
How screwed am I with the timing and brutality of this program?
i’m a second year at ut austin and going to be moving into Rise in wampus. i’ve heard a lot of not so great things about rise like the water randomly not working every 2 weeks and cops always in the lobby. Was just wondering if all of that is consistently true or just anomalies and if there are any issues are they that serious
