Problems
(continued from page 1)
placed the proposals, programs and
recommendations. Those were: (1)
accepted and plan in development,
(2) partially implemented as part of
a continuing process, (3) under
study, (4) implemented, and (5) un
feasible at this time.
The first two categories include
recommendations that pertain to
goals the subcommittee felt were ob
tainable for the University’s long
range planning operation within the
prescribed period of 1985 to 2000.
The last three categories, however,
do not show suggestions for goals
obtainable during that period.
These goals have either been
reached, will not be attempted, or
require more study.
The bulk of the proposals fell un
der the first two categories.
These included a streamlining of
the University administrative system
and a call for more basic research,
two of the more controversial rec
ommendations that came from the
Target 2000 report. Both were
stressed within Vandiver’s world
university concept as necessities.
In regard to the administrative
structure, the subcommittee wrote,
“A constant examination of the ad
ministrative structure of the institu
tion with regard to efficient manage
ment methods, resulting in the
creation of new posts and the phas
ing out of extant ones, is necessary.
Stability and continuity are of the
highest importance to the success of
Texas A&M University’s achieve
ment of genuine distinction among
the institutions of higher learning in
America and the world.”
As for basic research, the subcom
mittee recognized that “Historically,
the balance between the two (applied
research and basic research) has fa
vored applied research because of
Texas A&M’s land-grant origin and
mission-oriented philosophy. To be
a preeminent university, however,
Texas A&M must be in the forefront
of undertaking basic research.”
Also listed as attainable goals be
fore 2000 were greater use of the
Available University Fund for en
dowed chairs (at this time, $6 million
of the AUF is committed to endow
ments), the use of funds in areas
other than building construction
and the provision for faculty study
leaves.
“We’re already enhancing that
program (faculty study leaves) with
the aid of the former students and
we’re using Available Fund money,”
Phillips says. “Now we’re trying to
get to the point that we can offer the
opportunity for 100 people to go on
leave each year. That takes a lot of
money — about a million dollars.”
Two other proposals the subcom
mittee considered were the establish
ing of a baccalaureate program in
the fine arts and the recognizing of
social sororities and fraternities.
Both were deemed as requiring
more study and placed out of the
1985 to 2000 possibility range.
The major problem cited with im
mediate installation of a fine arts
program was expense.
In regard to sororities and frater
nities, the subcommittee demanded
more study because recognition “is
not universally accepted among the
University community as an impor
tant goal.”
Only three proposals were
deemed entirely unfeasible by the
subcommittee — all three because of
expense. These were the construc
tion of a major arts center, the estab
lishment of a college of law and the
removal of the railroad tracks along
Wellborn Road that bisect the cam
pus.
The last recommendation, how
ever, has now been moved to a spe
cial committee for more study by the
Board of Regents because of the
death of two students who were in
volved in train-car collisions this se
mester.
“The low priority on the railroad
was based on the fact that it cost so
much money that we couldn’t do
anything else if we did that,” Phillips
says. “But two deaths cause you to
look again. It’s a matter of percep
tion.”
That example brings up a point
that Phillips stresses is inherent
within the subcommittee’s plan: flex
ibility.
“Our plan was perturbed very
considerably by the hiring of the
new engineering dean,” he says. “He
said he’d come if he got certain re
sources. That sent us back to the
drawing board. Those things come
along all the time and you’ve got to
have a plan that’s flexible, that will
accept change.”
And Phillips says the current long
range plan is not only flexible, but is
a necessity.
“It’s the kind of thing that any or
ganization should do on a regular
basis,” he says. “And it’s being done
the right way. That is, by the line of
ficers of the institution rather than
by a set of outside planners. The
people running the organization
have to be involved. Otherwise, the
planning isn’t going to amount to
much and it isn’t going to be accep
ted.
“My thought is that a university
becomes a world university simply
through striving for excellence,” he
says. “And I think the long range
plan is focusing on identifying areas
in which we are seeking national and
international preeminence. I don’t
think we’re there yet. You can’t
come in one day and tack up a sign
on your door that says, ‘We are now
a world university’.
“But this is where the action is and
our time will come.”
