(____) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), the amount authorized under that subsection for a project at an institution of higher education is reduced by any amount by which, as a result of a tuition rate increase, the total amount of tuition and required fees charged by the institution to students under Chapter 54, Education Code, for the 2021 fall semester is greater than the total amount of tuition and required fees charged by the institution to students for the 2020 fall semester under that chapter, as adjusted for student enrollment and circumstances affecting the tuition charged to a student, including residency status, degree program, course load, course level, and tuition exemption status. The reduction of an authorized project amount under this subsection may not be construed to require amendment of any bond covenant or other contract, and the difference may be satisfied only with other funds available to the institution, including institutional funds. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall adopt rules for the administration of this subsection.
