Let's all work together to find the funding to save staff from being laid off and educational programs being suspended.

Please cut money from something else (like the Presidents salary). This place is TOO important to lose. The people of Texas will be the ones who suffer. Seriously, UT has more money than Heinz has pickles, if you really need money, start your search at the top of the payroll.

Surely you can save this museum- Mack Brown could fund it from this salary and never miss the money. Our priorites are indeed screwed up.:(

Losing another treasure at the University of Texas. This is a short sighted plan.

This museum is an absolute treasure in the Austin Community! Even if the museum began charging admission to help underwrite the cost of running itself, I am sure that area families would be very willing to pay. Please don't take funding away from TMM. As a parent and an educator, this valuable resource is not one our Austin Community can stand to lose.

I loved visiting the museum as a child, and now sharing it with my grandchildren. Please keep it open!

This is a local and state treasure. Trim the fat elsewhere. Keep science education alive in Texas by putting your $ where it matters..

It would be a terrible loss to the Austin community for this museum to close. Please don't be sooooo short-sighted, UT!

This museum and the people who work there deserve to remain. My son worked there 4 years which gave him a love and a career with museums!

Cities that do not support their museums deny their heritage. Find your money somewhere else.
