The Shorthorn staff
UTA did not just break its own
previous record for philanthropic
support — it smashed it.
Friday the university announced
the total number of gifts and pledges
during the 2009-2010 fiscal year
had more than doubled from the
previous year, up from $5.
9 million
to $14.
8 million.
“We don’t have a long history of
philanthropic support, but I think
we’re now building a base for what
will be a strong base of philanthropic
support for years to come,” UTA
President James Spaniolo told The
Shorthorn.
“We need that as we pursue becoming a major research university, and we need that just to support the university as state support is
dwindling for higher education.
”
Earlier this year, Gov.
Rick Perry
informed all state agencies that they
would have to cut their budget by
five percent for the 2010-2011 year.
