[Trainer-talk] FW: [nfb-texas members] Important: Student Survey for Current or Former Texas Higher Ed Students

[Jeanine Lineback]

Please consider filling out the below survey!
The Texas legislature is considering doing away with the tuition exemptions
for all blind and deaf students in the state of Texas. The below is a
message from our state president. This survey will help us to compile a fact
sheet that we can present to our state legislators. 
I know there are many blind persons who went to public colleges and
universities in the state of Texas that now work and live elsewhere. This is
why I am forwarding this to all of you.

Friends,

First, I want to commend those of you who helped with our legislative
push last week by scheduling and attending meetings with your
representatives, or making phone calls to voice your opposition to
HB3629. We need to continue to remind the legislature that securing
maximum funding for VR programs and the children's program, as well as
opposing the abolishment of DARS, are of critical importance to Blind
Texans.

Along those lines, I am enlisting your assistance once again. Please
take a few minutes to complete this survey, which is aiming to help us
collect data about the tuition exemption for blind students. Please
answer questions truthfully and timely: the sooner we compile
responses the sooner we can formulate a fact sheet on this issue.


Please forward to other blindness lists you are currently on: this is
for any students in Texas who are attending, or who have attended,
public or private institutions of higher education.

Thanks so much,
