Texas A&M students disapprove
of the finals schedule they will face
during the next two weeks and dis
approve of replacing a student din
ing facilty in Rudder Tower with a
faculty lounge, according to a survey
conducted by A&M’s Legislative
Study Group.
The LSG, an organization that re
searches campus issues and lobbies
for student concerns that come be
fore the state Legislature, conducted
a survey this semester to determine
students’ opinions on student and
campus affairs.
The survey, prepared by the LSG
and the Texas Public Policy Re
search Lab at A&M, questioned stu
dents on a variety of issues that the
LSG is considering researching or
lobbying for during the 1989 legis
lative session.
Survey-takers were asked if they
favored a student position on the
Board of Regents, a proposition the
LSG and the Student Senate have
backed strongly. Of the 433 respon
dents to the survey, 81.1 percent
said they would favor a student posi
tion on the Board, while 11.5 per
cent said they would not.
Respondents who favored a stu
dent on the Board said they wanted
a Student Senate appointment to a
seat that has a vote on issues directly
related to students.
Of those favoring a student seat
on the Board, 46.3 percent said they
approved of a Student Senate ap
pointment, 25.6 percent favored a
direct election by students, 16.1 per
cent favored an administrative ap
pointment and 2.3 percent said they
wanted an appointment by the gov
ernor.
Responding to what the role of
the student should be, 50.5 percent
said voting on student issues would
be appropriate, 32.7 percent called
for a full-voting seat and 14.5 per
cent favored an advisory position.
Mark Browning, LSG director,
said he was pleased to see that the re
spondents supported a student seat
on the Board because it is a position
the LSG has been trying to obtain
and most likely will campaign for
during the next legislative session.
Survey-takers also were asked to
respond on who should have the re
sponsibility of setting tuition policy
at A&M. The largest percentage of
respondents — 41.5 percent — said
the responsibility should belong to
the Board of Regents, while 21.9
percent said it should be the job of
the coordinating board and 20 per
cent said the Legislature should set
tuition.
Browning said the number of stu
dents favoring the Board to set tu
ition policy came as a surprise. The
LSG lobbied against a proposal in
the previous state legislative session
to move tuition-setting authority
from the Legislature to the Board.
LSG leaders believe tuition policy
should be decided by representatives
who are elected by the people, not
those appointed by the governor —
including the members of the
Board, Browning said.
Carolyn Foster, LSG administra
tive director, said she didn’t think
students who responded to the sur
vey are aware of the ramifications of
giving tuition-setting authority to
the Board. Tuition rates are gener
ally lower and students have more
input in tuition policy in states in
which tuition-setting authority rests
with the legislature than in states
where a board decides tuition policy,
she said.
Most respondents — 64.3 percent
— said increased tuition and fees
would be the most likely method
used by the state to finance higher
education in the future. A tax in
crease was the method deemed most
likely by 12.7 percent, while 5.8 per
cent said Financing would come
from spending on research and 2.3
percent said private philanthropy
would account for most of the fi
nancing.
The survey also questioned stu
dents about their feelings on issues
relating to minorities at A&M, an
other issue the LSG has researched
this year.
Race criteria should not be consid
erations for scholarships, according
to 79.7 percent, although 12.9 per
cent disagreed.
Of those responding to the sur
vey, 13.4 percent said they were mi
nority students, and of those mi
nority respondents, 81 percent said
they would recommend A&M to
other minority students. Nineteen
percent said they would not recom
mend A&M to other minority stu
dents.
