Three receive Tarleton's Legacy Awards - News - Stephenville Empire-Tribune - Stephenville, TX

Three receive Tarleton's Legacy Awards - News - Stephenville Empire-Tribune - Stephenville, TX: "Recipients are: The Texas Pioneer Foundation, Tradition of Service Award; Mike A. Myers, Excellence through Leadership Award; and Scott Summy (’86), Civility with Integrity Award.
The Tradition of Service Award recognizes the selfless giving of an individual or corporation that exemplifies the philanthropic ideals of the university’s founder, John Tarleton, and impacts the entire university.
This year’s Tradition of Service recipient, Texas Pioneer Foundation, provides funding to support access and success in post-secondary education for all Texas students. Based in San Marcos, this private, independent foundation has touched the lives of students from Texarkana to Laredo and from Amarillo to Brownsville.
Thanks to the foundation, Tarleton operates two Mobile Go Centers that take the university to communities throughout the state, supporting recruitment and enrollment.
A Texas Pioneer Foundation grant to Tarleton’s MENtal Freedom program helps African-American and Hispanic males graduate, and provides mentors and professional development to enhance learning.
Tarleton faculty and students will bring STEM education to public schools in a 90-mile radius of Stephenville via a mobile learning center later this year. Texas Pioneer Foundation gave the university a $174,879 grant to make the center a reality.
Texas Pioneer Foundation helped fund Tarleton’s new Department of Leadership and Strategic Studies, and generations of Tarleton students will realize the dream of a college education thanks to the foundation’s endowed scholarships.
The President’s Legacy Award for Excellence through Leadership recognizes an individual’s significant distinction and accomplishment in his/her field and achievements that have brought honor and credit to Tarleton.
This year’s Excellence through Leadership honoree is Olney, native Mike A. Myers, chairman and owner of Myers Financial Corporation since 1969."

UACM 150 millones y 15 mil alumnos



"•La SEP evita pleito con la UACM; sí le entregará recursos (La Jornada, 27 de octubre) • El rector de la Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México (UACM), Hugo Aboites, anunció que la Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) entregará los 150 millones de pesos que le fueron asignados a la institución en el Presupuesto de Egresos de la Federación para este año y se buscará que dicho monto se mantenga o aumente en los años siguientes. "

Se utilizaría parte del presupuesto de la universidad en trabajos de mantenimiento mayor y en las revisiones salariales y contractuales, pues no se contaría con recursos extraordinarios, y la terminación de los planteles San Lorenzo Tezonco y Cuautepec quedarían nuevamente pendiente.

Desde 2008 se cuenta con este apoyo federal con el rubro U080, que es el programa de apoyo a instituciones y programas de educación superior, que se inició con 100 millones de pesos y en 2011 aumentó a 150 millones, lo cuales no fueron entregados este año, aun cuando hubo una ampliación presupuestal para incluirnos.

Con ello la SEP acepta que, efectivamente, nos adeuda ese dinero, pero queda por asegurar que se incluyó en el presupuesto de 2015, señaló el rector, quien comentó que la matrícula es de 15 mil alumnos y cada año ingresan 4 mil: mil 600 del Instituto de Educación Media Superior y 2,400 por sorteo.
