State funds
Continued from Page 1
there's an extremely long way to
go before we can congratulate
ourselves," Gourrier said.
Gourrier said DEC has contact
ed many University officials to try
to get A&M to incorporate its plan
into the budget.
"The press conference was a
cumulation of 90 days of frustra
tion with the administration,"
Gourrier said. "Over the past 90
days, we've been trying to get the
administration to snow us where
they have incorporated our list of
10 points into A&M's legislative
agenda.
"We have yet to see that A&M
is putting these things into their
legislative agenda," he said.
This plan includes state fund
ing for the Race and Ethnic Stud
ies Institute, state funding for
women's studies, expanding the
minority scholarship program and
a statute mandating for a uniform
reporting procedure for discrimi
natory actions.
Jeffrey Brown, a senior English
and history major, said DEC
chose to center their efforts at
A&M's legislative budget because
it would make funding perma
nent, instead of having it rely on
the view of the administration.
"We started witli the state leg-
islatLire because it has some per
manence," Brown said. "We
don't know how long this Board
of Regents or the President will be
around."
Ron Going, a freshman politi
cal science major, said this issue is
a legislative concern.
"We want long-term change,
not year-to-year change, in order
to get funding for diversity pro
grams at Texas A&M," he said.
"Going through the legislature
makes everything more perma
nent."
He said DEC wants a nontrans-
ferrable program that could not be
used for anything other than im
proving diversity in the future.
Brown said the University
needs a comprehensive program
for diversity, and current pro
grams are not adequate.
"The problem is there's not a
holistic approach to this prob
lem," Brown said. "We're sick of
the University saying one thing
and doing another."
Mobley's statement defended
University policies, and said the
President's Achievement Award
Scholarship Program has in
creased every year since its cre
ation in 1979, with more than $2.9
million given in 1992-93.
Gourrier said, "They're fund
ing these programs so they can
say they have them. But they're
not giving them enough money to
accomplish anything.'
Amy Rodriquez, a sophomore
Spanish and bilingual education
major, said A&M is not doing
nearly enough in the area of re
cruiting minority faculty mem
bers.
"The faculty is a good example
of how A&M does something, but
it's not enough," Rodriquez said.
"Fifteen out of 2,000 members of
the faculty are Hispanics, and 25
are black.
"That's terribly disproportion
ate for a university," she said.
DEC members also said the re
sults of the lack of diversity at
A&M will affect students even af
ter they graduate.
Going said, "If A&M doesn't
ease tensions between different
ethnicities, they'll keep putting
white people into the work force
who will be shocked at the diverse
population. They don't see it on
this campus."
Gourrier said this aspect makes
it much more than a minority is
sue.
"Whites will be at a disadvan
tage in the work force because
they are taught at A&M that
everything is run by white
males," he said. "That's just not
how the work force is."
"Texas A&M can no longer af
ford to ignore these issues," Gour
rier said.
"The press conference
was a cumulation of
90 days of frustration
with the
administration."
-Joseph Gourrier
A&M NAACP president
But Rep. Steve Ogden, R-
Bryan, said A&M is not ignoring
these issues.
"I think A&M is making a seri
ous effort at minority recruitment
and retention," Ogden said.
"Right now, 15 percent of the tu
ition students pay goes into a
fund to assist economically disad
vantaged students.
"This is an example of how the
state of Texas is putting its money
where its mouth is," he said.
Ogden sjiid he: has already
been addressing diversity issues
at A&M in the Legislature.
"I put a rider on an appropria
tions bill to collect information on
minority recruitment and reten
tion programs in the state to de
termine if they are adequate and
efficient," he said.
Gourrier said everyone is say
ing A&M needs to improve diver
sity, but programs to achieve it
are not adequate.
We want simple improvements
that everyone is already saying
we need," Gourrier said. "Mobley
has said it, everyone has said we
need to do something about this." .
He also said the argument that
A&M can't do this because of
budget constraints is not true.
"We're confident this can be
done with less than 2 percent of
Texas A&M's budget," Gourrier
said. "Wilson has said A&M has
the money to do these things. It's
just a matter of reallocating funds
from other areas."
Brown said, "A&M is a great
place, but it could be so much bet
ter. We have a long way to go in
the area of diversity."
