The Texas legislature approved a five percent increase for each of the next two years for all state agency employees. But the legislature is leaving it up to the individual universities to determine pay raises for their employees. Texas A&M’s Chief External Affairs Officer, Susan Ballabina, says leadership is meeting with the Board of Regents at the end of July.
Ballabina says it gets complex because there are eight state agencies within the Texas A&M University system, but the university has to wait until programmatic budget review to announce what its plan will be.
