More and more, it seems TCU buries trustee press releases. Here are the highlights:
- FY 19-20 budget is $777 M
- Endowment payout will be $71.8 M
- 2019-20 undergrad headcount cap is 9,500
- 2020-21 Med school tuition up over $60k
- Capital budget and sale of bonds approved but no public announcements on what any new projects are (note: the next big ones coming down the pipe are the Sadler redo and BLUU expansion)
- Lead On: A Campaign for TCU will have a public launch in October. This capital campaign has already raised $538 M in leadership gifts. My understanding (may be outdated info) is the total campaign goal will be $1 B and will conclude with the university’s 150th anniversary in 2023. Particular emphasis on endowment, so you can look for a lot of things to be named after folks—programs, professorships, deanships, maybe even unnamed departments and/or colleges—as part of the effort to raise big sums for endowment funds.

They also doled out some emeritus faculty titles for some retiring folks that I bet a lot of us had or heard of —- Donovan (Provost), Lipscomb (finance), and Lahutsky (religion) among them.
