The university is committed to expanding access and fostering success for all students. As a member of the Texas Tech University System (TTU System), MSU Texas occupies a distinctive position in northwest Texas as the only public university serving the region between Denton and Lubbock . MSU Texas plays a vital role in the economic vitality of the Wichita Falls region , serving as a workforce engine for North Texas while contributing more than $329.4 million annually to the regional economy and nearly $1 billion statewide. The university enrolls 5,287 students and offers 49 undergraduate and 27 graduate programs across six academic colleges. MSU Texas achieved record-setting enrollment among first-time, full-time (FTFT) students for two consecutive years, welcoming 925 students in fall 2024 and 973 in fall 2025. The institution is committed to providing access and ensuring student success, with 54 percent of undergraduates identifying as first -generation college students and 50 percent receiving Pell grants. Strategic Priorities MSU Texas’ mission is to empower students and the surrounding community through a commitment to academic excellence , personal growth, and a culture of lifelong learning, inquiry, and innovation. The university advances this mission through its strategic focus on three overarching goals: Educate, Support, and Serve. The university's chief priority is to educate and prepare workforce-ready graduates through high-quality academic programs that lead to successful careers and meet the evolving needs of Texas employers . As noted previously, MSU Texas achieved its largest FTFT cohort for two consecutive years and is building on that momentum as it approaches fall 2026. Alongside enrollment growth, the institution is prioritizing efforts to strengthen student retention , particularly among first-year students, through targeted efforts such as the Student Success and Military Education Center . During the 89th Legislative Session, the university received $3 million in non-formula support funding for the Student Success and Military Education Center. This investment enabled the university to enhance student access and success by establishing a centralized support hub with streamlined access to tailored services for all students. The Student Success and Military Education Center has already filled 20 new positions, with additional positions forthcoming. Construction of the new facility was completed in April 2026, and was funded by the generous support of local foundations, as well as the city’s municipal economic development boards (4A/4B). Staff were actively supporting students from a temporary facility on campus throughout the last academic year. A key component of the Military Education Center (MEC) is MSU Texas' strategic partnership with Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB), which expands educational opportunities, strengthens the military workforce pipeline, and supports active-duty service members, veterans, and military-connected students. Through ongoing collaboration, SAFB has helped shape scholarship opportunities tailored to military-connected students, resulting in more than $1 million in scholarships to date. The partnership also includes regular engagement between university and base leadership, participation in on-base events, and collaboration that continues to strengthen support for the military community. The efforts of the Student Success and Military Education Center, combined with other campus-wide initiatives, are already yielding measurable results. In spring 2026, the university reported a 3.2 percent increase in degree- seeking undergraduate enrollment and a 1.96 percent increase in semester credit hour (SCH) production compared to spring 2025. Additionally, retention rates for the fall 2025 entering cohort improved 5.4 percent in spring 2026 relative to the same period in the previous year. MSU Texas prioritizes its exceptional faculty and staff by identifying ways to support scholarly and creative works , invest in professional development opportunities, and 1 Page 1 of 4  Administrator's Statement 8/4/2026 2:08:12PM 90th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1 Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) 735 Midwestern State University offer leadership training across campus. In fall 2025, in partnership with the TTU System’s Office of Leader and Culture Development , the university launched the MSU Leadership Academy – a leadership development program offered to all faculty and staff . The program had an inaugural cohort of 55 participants, and a second cohort is scheduled for fall 2026. MSU Texas also provides funding and resources to its faculty and staff to participate in relevant professional development opportunities . One such opportunity is the Gardner Institute’s Teaching and Learning Community, which provides faculty with an interdisciplinary community of practice that promotes ongoing development and collaboration among educators. This opportunity is part of MSU Texas’ 5-year partnership with the Gardner Institute through its Transforming the Postsecondary Experience initiative. MSU Texas is committed to serving as a strong community partner and pillar . Central to this commitment is the university’s focus on cultivating and strengthening relationships with SAFB, United Regional Health Care System (URHCS) and other regional hospitals, the city of Wichita Falls, and the surrounding region. The university has prioritized its partnership with URHCS to address the region’s healthcare workforce needs. URHCS relies heavily on MSU Texas graduates, who comprise 50 percent of the hospital ’s nursing staff, 70 percent of its respiratory care specialists, and 80 percent of its radiologic professionals. These figures underscore the vital role that MSU Texas plays in sustaining the healthcare workforce across the region . Beyond URHCS, MSU Texas provides clinical education and training opportunities through partnerships with numerous rural hospitals across the region , including in Wichita, Archer, Montague, Wilbarger, Young, Clay, and Jack counties, as well as active clinical sites throughout North Texas . These healthcare partners play a pivotal role in preparing MSU Texas students by providing training and clinical experiences across a range of disciplines . MSU Texas also partners with the West Texas Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and houses its North Central regional office on campus . The university contributes to AHEC’s mission to recruit, train, and sustain a strong healthcare workforce by introducing high school students to health professions and educational pathways. In 2025, MSU Texas welcomed nearly 200 students from 12 different high schools to campus, where they toured the Gunn College of Health Sciences and Human Services and met with faculty to learn more about academic and career opportunities in healthcare. MSU Texas graduates are also essential to the region’s K-12 education workforce pipeline. The region’s school districts employ 862 graduates as teachers, 81 as principals or superintendents, 22 as educational diagnosticians, and 48 as school counselors. Beyond healthcare and education, MSU Texas is responsive to other local and regional workforce needs , offering degree programs and concentrations such as Agribusiness, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Business Analytics, Industrial Technology, Human Resource Development, Educational Leadership, and Substance Abuse Counseling. Additionally, MSU Texas is committed to enhancing and expanding the region’s STEM workforce pipeline through outreach and engagement efforts with regional K -12 schools. The university uses non-formula support funding to expand degree offerings and STEM education and outreach efforts . As part of this effort, MSU Texas established a STEM Resource and Outreach Center and launched a mentorship program designed to inspire and support middle- and high-school students in pursuing STEM pathways. MSU Texas will continue to focus on its mission to Educate , Support, and Serve. The university remains steadfast in its commitment to educate its students, help them graduate on time, and prepare them to transition confidently to the next steps in their lives with purpose, increased agency, and gainful employment. 2 Page 2 of 4  Administrator's Statement 8/4/2026 2:08:12PM 90th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1 Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) 735 Midwestern State University Legislative Priorities State funding to support the institution’s operations is high on MSU Texas’ list of funding priorities . Outlined below are areas important to the university’s funding needs. 1. Formula Funding: MSU Texas supports increased investments into formula funding . Funding for continued enrollment growth and adjustments to the formula rate to address rising inflation are key to the success of the institution. Stable, predictable formula funding is essential to educating a growing student population, expanding workforce programs, and meeting the needs of employers across North Texas and the state . 2. Employee Benefits: MSU Texas requests the Legislature continue to increase state appropriations to fully fund Higher Education Group Insurance (HEGI) premiums, aligning this support with the funding provided to other state agencies. 3. Student Financial Aid : MSU Texas appreciates the continued funding of TEXAS Grants and supports efforts to expand financial aid opportunities for students in the upcoming legislative session. TEXAS Grants play a vital role in helping students from low socioeconomic backgrounds access and succeed in higher education. 4. Hazlewood Exemptions: The university maintains a strong partnership with Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB) in Wichita Falls and is proud to serve the many veterans and military-connected family members who study and work on campus each day. While the university remains steadfast in its support for those who served, as well as their families, the tuition exemptions associated with this important program represent a significant institutional cost. MSU Texas respectfully requests that the state consider fully funding the Hazlewood Legacy exemption program for Texas higher education institutions . Non-Formula Exceptional Item Requests 1. North Texas Rural Healthcare Initiative Request: FY 2028 $6,741,228; FY 2029 $6,741,228 MSU Texas’ Gunn College of Health Sciences and Human Services (GCHSHS) has experienced sustained growth and success across its academic programs in recent years and currently represents approximately 40 percent of the university ’s total enrollment, the largest category of majors . The university is seeking to expand capacity in Gunn College’s radiologic sciences (RADS) and nursing programs to meet the demand of current and prospective students, and the workforce needs of the community and broader region. Interest in MSU Texas’ RADS program has more than doubled in three years . The RADS program admits 60 students each year, though demand significantly exceeds available capacity. In 2026, the program received two-hundred qualified applicants, with approximately 70 percent rejected due to limited space and faculty resources. The institution has the premier RADS program in the United States, with national recognition for excellence in online and advanced imaging education. The university’s RADS master’s program was the first discipline-specific Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences offered in the country. MSU Texas’ nursing program is also poised for expansion. It currently admits 140 students per academic year. In 2025, 100 percent of MSU Texas’ BSN students passed their nursing exam (NCLEX-RN). The university’s requested funding will enable the creation of new faculty and staff positions, as well as support the instructional infrastructure required to accommodate enrollment growth and technological advancements. Expanding the RADS and nursing programs would not be building something new, but would build on programs that are already growing and thriving, with high student achievement on certification exams and placement in the healthcare field immediately upon graduation. With appropriate funding, GCHSHS could increase enrollment by approximately 160 students annually. Without these resources, the university will be unable to meet student demand or fully support the needs of its rural healthcare partners. 3 Page 3 of 4  Administrator's Statement 8/4/2026 2:08:12PM 90th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1 Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) 735 Midwestern State University United Regional Health Care System (URHCS), which is MSU Texas’ premier healthcare partner, is fully supportive of the university’s ideas for expansion. As noted previously, MSU Texas graduates comprise a significant proportion of URHCS’ medical staff . URHCS is the anchor hospital for MSU Texas’ RADS , respiratory, and nursing programs, and provides clinical rotations for all three programs. All MSU Texas nursing students rotate through URHCS during the program . 2. Institutional Enhancement Funds Request: FY 2028 $136,709; FY 2029 $136,709 MSU Texas seeks the restoration of Institutional Enhancement Funds , which support the university ’s core operations and student success initiatives. These funds are critical for faculty and staff salaries, academic support services, and retention efforts that help students persist to graduation . Without the restoration of these funds , MSU Texas may be forced to reduce its workforce or reevaluate the scope of its academic offerings . Institutional Enhancement Funds are essential to advancing the university’s mission to Educate, Support, and Serve. The loss of this funding would disproportionately affect first-generation and economically disadvantaged students, who comprise a significant portion of the university ’s student population, and often rely on additional academic and support resources to succeed. Restoring these funds will help ensure that MSU Texas can continue educating the students that represent the future of the Texas workforce. 3. Capital Construction Assistance Project (CCAP) Debt Service Request: FY 2028 $5,231,074; FY 2029 $5,231,074 This project would entail construction of a new health professions annex to accommodate GCHSHS’s growth and expansion . This proposed 70,000 sq. ft. new building would provide additional instructional and academic space for foundational disciplines in GCHSHS, and space for experiential learning and training labs for students. This request is informed by MSU Texas’ ongoing Campus Master Plan process . In the preliminary findings of campus space utilization, the university is at capacity in Gunn College’s Centennial Hall (87,000 sq. ft.), and is unable to meet the excess demand of qualified applicants to its health sciences programs. Statement on Background Checks In response to the request to describe Midwestern State University's practice regarding background checks, MSU Texas's Department of Human Resources obtains background checks on all employees using the Texas Department of Public Safety and Risk Aware as allowed by the Texas Education Code Section 51.215 and Texas Government Code Section 4 11.094. 4 Page 4 of 4 POINTS OF PRIDE As a top economic driver in Wichita Falls, Texas, Midwestern State University provides more than $329.4 million each year to the North Texas Region and reaches more than $997.6 million at the state level.

To address increasing demand from current and prospective students , and to meet the region ’s critical workforce needs, the university seeks to expand capacity in its radiologic sciences (RADS) and nursing programs through targeted investments in faculty, staff, and instructional resources. These investments would enable the university to add essential personnel and support the instructional infrastructure required to accommodate continued enrollment growth and technological advancements. Demand for the RADS program has more than doubled over the past three years, far exceeding current capacity. While the program admits 60 students annually, it received approximately 200 qualified applications in 2026, forcing MSU Texas to deny nearly 70 percent of applicants due to limitations in space, clinical placements, and faculty availability. The program is nationally recognized for excellence in online and advanced imaging education and was the first in the nation to offer a discipline-specific Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS). In 2025, 91 percent of graduates passed the ARRT licensure exam, demonstrating strong student outcomes. The nursing program also demonstrates this high-level of performance and demand. The program currently admits 140 students annually and is well-positioned for expansion. In 2025, the program achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX-RN, underscoring the effectiveness of the program in preparing graduates for their nursing careers . EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS: The healthcare initiative would support the creation of new faculty and staff positions , as well as fund the instructional resources necessary to accommodate enrollment growth and technological expansion in the healthcare field. Rather than creating entirely new programs, this expansion builds on existing GCHSHS degree programs that are already demonstrating strong growth, high student achievement on certification exams, and immediate job placement in the healthcare field upon graduation. 4.A.

MSU Texas graduates comprise a significant proportion of the hospital’s workforce, including approximately 50 percent of its nursing staff, 70 percent of its respiratory care specialists, and 80 percent of its radiologic professionals. Beyond URHCS, the university provides training opportunities and clinical education through partnerships with numerous rural hospitals across the region, including in Wichita, Archer, Montague, Wilbarger, Young, Clay, and Jack counties, as well as active clinical sites throughout North Texas . The partnership between MSU Texas, URHCS, and other rural regional healthcare providers highlights the university’s critical role in addressing healthcare workforce needs across North Texas.

Without the restoration of these funds , the university may be forced to reduce faculty and staff positions and reevaluate the scope of its academic offerings . Critical student programs and support services would also face significant limitations. As a result, students could encounter greater obstacles to graduating on time due to reduced course availability and diminished academic support resources. The impact would be felt most acutely by first-generation and economically disadvantaged students, who comprise a growing segment of our student population and require additional student services to ensure their academic success. These students represent the future workforce, leadership, and economic vitality of our state, making continued investment in their success not only an educational priority but a statewide priority, Building a Talent Strong Texas . EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS: The university continues to work toward increased graduation and retention rates. PCLS TRACKING KEY: 4.A. Page 3 of 6 68  4.A.

This project will accommodate the continued growth and expansion of the Gunn College of Health Sciences and Human Services’ (GCHSHS). The proposed new facility, approximately 70,000 sq. ft., is estimated to cost $60,000,000. The new building will expand capacity in GCHSHS’ high-demand programs, including radiologic sciences and nursing. GCHSHS’ academic programs comprise 40 percent of MSU Texas’ total enrollment . Graduates from these programs play a vital role as part of the regional healthcare workforce pipeline, helping address critical industry needs. EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS: A recent campus space utilization study indicates that MSU Texas has reached capacity in Centennial Hall , the current 87,000 sq. ft. home of GCHSHS. As a result, the university is unable to accommodate the growing number of qualified applications to its health science programs. This proposed annex would provide much-needed additional instructional and academic space for foundational disciplines within GCHSHS, as well as expanded experiential learning environments and specialized training labs to better prepare student for healthcare careers.

Assessment of Attainment of HUB Procurement Goals Attainment: Midwestern State University has not been able to attain the statewide HUB procurement goals for FY 2024 & 2025. Applicability: All categories are applicable to agency operations in FY2024 and FY2025. Factors Affecting Attainment : There are very few HUB vendors in the Wichita Falls area, however there is continuous effort being made in all categories . Some local vendors commonly used are no longer on the HUB list. Although, MSU did gain a couple of local HUB vendors in construction and commodities. C. Good-Faith Efforts to Increase HUB Participation Outreach Efforts and Mentor-Protégé Programs: MSU attended monthly State of Texas HUB development meetings each year . MSU participated with Mayfield Paper Company who served as a mentor protégé for Streamline Strategic Solutions, which concluded in August 2024. MSU attends meetings with other agencies introducing new vendors to Mentor-Protégé programs. MSU attended the 2024 and 2025 HUB Spot Bid Fair in Irving, TX and Texas Tech University System Small and Historically Underutilized Business Expo . MSU procured travel with a new HUB vendor, Groople Texas, LLC, although travel is not a reportable object code. HUB Program Staffing: 6.A. Page 1 of 2 78  6.A.

However, 6 out of 7 team members are responsible for the program throughout the year in different areas . Current and Future Good-Faith Efforts: MSU is challenged with its location for Heavy Construction, Building Construction and Special Trades local HUB vendors . Training is ongoing with the university community to educate and make available HUB information and involvement in university purchases. All HUB firms are involved in the bidding processes. MSU actively searches for HUB firms/companies as part of the procurement process by using state CMBL. Every effort is made to meet goals for construction type contracts. Currently, to encourage participation in our procurement process, MSU ensures HUB' s on and off the CMBL, are notified of bid requests (formal and informal). MSU continues its open-door policy where businesses are invited to ask for assistance in understanding the HUB Program. This includes HUB certification, ESBD state portal, and cooperative opportunities, along with “How to do Business” with MSU and the State of Texas . MSU continues to utilize cooperative and purchasing contracts with HUB awarded vendors and introduces new HUB vendors to campus. 6.A. Page 2 of 2 79  6.H.

(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date: GCHSHS has experienced significant growth across its academic programs in recent years and now accounts for 40 percent of the university ’s total enrollment. MSU Texas is home to the premier RADS program in the country, with student interest more than doubling over the past three years. The RADS program admits 60 students annually, but demand far exceeds this. Two-hundred qualified applications were received in 2026, resulting in 70 percent of applications being rejected due to limitations in space, clinical placements, and faculty availability. In 2025, 91 percent of MSU Texas RADS graduates passed their licensure exam (ARRT), highlighting the success and effectiveness of the program . The RADS program has also earned national recognition for excellence in online and advanced imaging education, and was the first in the country to offer a discipline-specific Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS). Similarly, the university ’s Nursing program is well-positioned for continued growth. The program currently admits 140 students per academic year and consistently demonstrates outstanding student outcomes. In 2025, 100 percent of MSU Texas Nursing graduates passed their licensure exam (NCLEX-RN), underscoring the program ’s effectiveness in preparing students for successful healthcare careers. (3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years: •Hire new faculty and staff to accommodate the increase in enrollment within GCHSHS. These new positions could include additional RADS and Nursing faculty, academic advisors and success coaches, additional Biology and Chemistry instructors, and others. •Invest in additional instructional tools to aid in enrollment growth and ensure the success of current students. These tools could include equipment for tutoring labs, new RADS imaging equipment, simulators, and more. •Create a new B.S. in Health Sciences and Human Services degree to expand a student’s health sciences options. This new degree will serve as an academic home for students who want to work in healthcare but are unsure about their desired area of specialization. It will also serve as an alternative option for students who are not yet competitive for certain programs. 99 Page 3 of 14  Higher Education Schedule 9: Non-Formula Support 8/3/2026 2:53:52PM 90th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1 Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) 735 Midwestern State University (4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Non-Formula Support Funding: N/A (5) Formula Funding: None (6) Category: Instructional Support (7) Transitional Funding: N (8) Non-General Revenue Sources of Funding: N/A (9) Impact of Not Funding: This initiative has the support of United Regional Health Care System (URHCS), which is MSU Texas’ premier healthcare partner . MSU Texas graduates comprise a significant proportion of URHCS’ medical staff – 50 percent of their nursing staff, 70 percent of their respiratory care specialists, and 80 percent of their radiologists. URHCS is opening a new imaging center in Wichita Falls in 2027 and will need additional RADS staffing, particularly in certain modalities. In addition to URHCS, MSU Texas provides clinical education and training opportunities through partnerships with numerous rural hospitals across the region , including in Wichita, Archer, Montague, Wilbarger, Young, Clay, and Jack counties, as well as active clinical sites throughout North Texas . Without state funding for this initiative , MSU Texas will be unable to meet student demand and cannot fully support our rural healthcare partners .

A single remaining employee cannot logistically or legally maintain compliance , uniform oversight, and advisory coverage across a vast 12-county region. •Immediate Forfeiture of Federal Dollars: state non-formula funds serve as the legally mandated match under 13 CFR § 130.410, defunding this item triggers an immediate, dollar-for-dollar reduction and ultimate cancellation of available federal SBA grant awards allocated to North Texas , effectively abandoning federal revenue that would otherwise stimulate Texas commerce . •Destabilization of the Entrepreneurial Pipeline: Hundreds of active business owners and early-stage entrepreneurs annually will lose all access to institutional-grade, no-cost corporate consulting, destroying local access to capital, halting business formations, and leaving regional enterprises vulnerable to severe regulatory compliance and cybersecurity failures. •Severe Net-Negative Fiscal Impact to the State of Texas : Defunding this item creates an immediate contraction in localized revenue generation. (10) Non-Formula Support Needed on Permanent Basis/Discont Permanent non-formula support is required because the SBDC is a contractually bound federal-state partnership that legally mandates an uninterrupted, non-federal matching fund stream to exist. •According to an independent, longitudinal economic impact study conducted by James Chrisman, PhD, Texas SBDC program operations yield an undeniable $3.45 to $4.54 direct return to state treasuries for every single $1 invested by the legislature. Dr. Chrisman’s findings demonstrate that long-term SBDC consulting assistance represents an elite public policy instrument because it returns tax revenues to local and state governments that vastly exceed the direct operational cost of funding the service.
