Financial Environment  The State of Texas has experienced increased revenue following the “great recession” but many budget pressures remain for the state to deal with.  Currently, the economic environment is stable and some economists are projecting growth in the near term.  There is an increased focus on student affordability and performance outcomes.  This upcoming biennium will be a challenge for PVAMU with a potential move to performance based funding and the loss of the hold harmless funds.
