PUBLIC NOTICE
CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION ENHANCEMENT
PROGRAM (CCER)
PURPOSE:
The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program is designed as an
integral part of efforts to continue to enhance Texas A8JV1 University's
tradition of excellence in undergraduate education. In any classroom
setting occasional problems which impede communication between a
professor and a student may arise. The Classroom Communication
Enhancement Program provides an effective mechanism for solving such
problems at the level where they occur and the individuals of
responsibility. Moreover, the procedures are designed to effect
resolution in an expedient manner.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CCEP
A student who has a concern about classroom communication should
first discuss the concern with the instructor of the class. If, despite
discussion with the instructor, the issue is not resolved, the student then
may bring the matter to the attention of the department head of the
instructor's department. At that point, a form (Classroom
Communication Concerns Form) is completed by the student. If the
matter is so sensitive that discussion with the instructor is impossible,
the student may report the concern to the department head; at that
point the form mentioned will be filled out.
The classroom Communication Enhancement Form Describes later steps
in the procedure.
Types of Problems Not Covered By CCEP
Sexual Harassment
Discrimination
Grade Appeals
Please refer to Texas A8JVI University Rules and Regulations for
procedures concerning these problems.
Questions about the Classroom Communication Enhancement Program may
be directed to your dean's office.

Schools must include religion
I would like to clarify a popular misconcep
tion. The First Amendment of our Constitution
states “Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof.” This means Congress
could not establish a NATIONAL DENOMINA
TION. For 170 years after drafting the Consti
tution, the First Amendment still applies as
such. However, in 1962, the Supreme Court
changed the definition of “church” from “denomi
nation” to “religious activity.”
America’s Founding Fathers recognized the
importance of our Christian heritage. Ben
Franklin said, God governs in the affairs of
man.’ And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground
without his notice, is it probable that an empire
can rise without his aid?” Franklin also warned
that the exclusion of God would result in inter
nal disputes, the decay of the nation’s prestige
and reputation and a diminished national suc
cess. The stained glass in the U.S. Congression
al chapel portrays George Washington kneeling
in prayer. Washington warned that if religious
principles were excluded, the nation’s morality
and political prosperity would suffer.
Our nation’s first schools began in churches. For
more than three centuries, public schools not only
promoted prayer, they relied on the Bible as the pri
mary instrument to teach reading, character and
morals. Chapel attendance was required at Texas
A&M from 1886-1918. When William Bizzell be
came President of A&M (1914), he announced that
certain policies would prevail including higher stan
dards of morality and greater religious activity.
Bizzell insisted upon faculty participation in Sunday
school and religious activities by instituting a school
of religious instruction which offered a four-year
course on the Old and New Testaments.
It is said that “separation of church and state”
is so misunderstood today. The current misin
terpretation of our First Amendment is fulfilling
the prophecies of Washington and Franklin at
the expense of our nation AND our schools.
