Willing to bet it somehow comes down to grifting money from the State to the University administration.

Or this is something completely not involving the State in any way, and they'll respond to try and block it somehow, citing socialism and other bullshit.

the ut system could probably fund it themselves internally, they do have a ~ $45 billion endowment. but that wouldn't stop the state legislature and abbott from trying to control what the institutions can do with their own money.
