This assessment helped Texas set numerical goals for upcoming years. College deans and the De partment of Academic Affairs projected their needs, goals and resources for the next five years. Through these projec tions, the deans committed $8.5 million of their budget specifi cally to hiring minority and women faculty members during this five-year period. Dr. Ray Bowen, president of A&M, is asking each of A&M’s divisions, including academic affairs, student affairs and fi nance and administration, to complete similar studies to de termine how funds can be real located toward the goals for hir ing minorities. Dr. William Perry, Dean of Faculties, said the Access and Eq uity 2000 should provide a posi tive force toward creating a more diverse workplace. “We have gotten feedback from faculty members and the community,” Perry said. “And this feed back helped us when assessing our prob lem areas.” Another goal of the University’s As sess and Equity 2000 Plan is to in crease the number of women and mi norities on governing boards of Texas public institutions of higher education. While the University knows it has a limited influence on ap pointments to such boards, it does believe strategies can be taken to improve the situation. The Plan’s strategies in clude: encouraging external constituents in an array of dif ferent organizations to recog nize the importance of a gov- "This check-system is an impor tant detail because it lets us de cide what is best for the Univer sity on a year-by-year basis." — Paul Catucci, Department of Human Resources erning board; establishing posi tive relations between promi nent women and minorities in a position to influence the politi cal process; and encouraging di verse membership in boards.

They help recruit students into the Corps.” Owen Ross, RHA president, said that although the programs are beneficial to the Corps of Cadets, they came at the expense of non-Corps residents. “These are two excellent pro grams,” Ross said. “I wouldn’t mind funding them if they bene fited the entire campus or the res idents, but I don’t see how some one living in a rlon-reg hall could benefit from them." The bill was passed with little opposition, although no represen tatives from the Corps of Cadets were present. Ililfi was contacted, but said he did not attend because he did not want to blow the issue out of proportion. “Attending the meeting would only have raised the hysteria lev el,” Segrest said. “There was no reason to cause a big commotion.” Although "These programs help increase the Corps' size." — Ron Sasse, Department of Residence Life and Housing Ross said he had contacted Segrest, the Corps Housing Office and Maj. Gen. Thomas Darling, Corps Commandant. Segrest acknowledged that he Segrest said that he encour ages the RHA to look into the programs if it feels it was be ing cheated, he pointed out the differences be tween the Corps of Cadets and civilian housing. “I think that it’s hard to com pare the two housing situations,” Segrest said. “It’s like comparing apples and oranges. Thes tions are totally different."
