and voted on whether to recom
mend her as president, said
Kate Petree, MSC Council
executive vice president of
human resources and a senior
meteorology major.
Brashares was the only
applicant for the position.
“It is in the MSC Council
contract that we vote for the
new president, even though
she was serving as interim,”
Petree said.
Petree said the council
chose Brashares because of her
leadership abilities.
“She can provide a better
focus now that she is named
president, and we feel she will
be able to accomplish many
goals,” Petree said.
Brashares said she is looking
forward to serving in the role
and believes she can work with
the council on all the issues.
“I know the issues since I
have been here for the past
three years,” Brashares said.
“I will be looking to my peers
for advice and guidance, but I
feel comfortable after serving
as interim.”

incoming residents for such
a drastic policy change,
Sasse said. Currently, only
coed halls have 24-hour vis
itation. Single-sex halls are
allowed visitors from 9 a.m.
to 2 a.m.
Sasse said the department
may run a pilot program to
test round-the-clock visita
tion in single-sex halls. Not
all residence halls would
have to become 24-hour
halls, he said.
“Each hall is going to
have to look at their own sit
uation,” Sasse said.
Staff Council Chairman
Matt Fuller, a Hart Hall resi
dent adviser and senior biol
ogy major, said that he was
unsure whether all single-sex
halls would adopt the policy.
“There has not been any
thing proposed on a campus
level and I really don’t know
if there will be,” Fuller said.
Continued RHA action
will bring increased
involvement from
Residence Life and Staff
Council, Fuller said.

ived a copy of the survey results, he immedi-
y formed a working group to evaluate “the way
’redoing business.”
We take that survey seriously,” Sherman said,
fe intend to find out what truth there is in the
iew and fix what we can fix.”
aul R. Rindfleisch, a Ph.D. student in the
igraphy department, did not respond to the sur-
, but has discussed its results with his depart-
|nt colleagues.
T think the results of the survey represent in
;e part the opinion of just a few people who
fre really dissatisfied with their experience in the
artment. I do believe that some of the concerns
Ised are legitimate, though,” Rindfleisch said.
JOne of nine categories used to grade the pro-
Jtams is career guidance and placement servic
es Students complained that the program only
pares them for academic careers, while many
tats plan non-academic careers.
Most graduate departments around the
mtry prepare their students for academic
ireers. When their former students go to big
;earch schools and become famous, that’s
avthey receive recognition. I don’t think it’s
iything peculiar about our department,”
indfleisch said.
TheA&M political science department had 28
irticipants and received a “B,” which is higher
an average. Political science department head
[.Patricia A. Hurley believes that the program
ay owe its good marks to mentorship.
“We do a lot to mentor our students. They
vtgood relationships with our faculty. Most of
our students who have gone on to the profession
al world remember their time in our department
fondly,” Hurley said.
The A&M biology department had the most
participants with 29 responding to the survey.
The department received a grade of “C+,” lower
than average.
Dr. Mark Zoran, graduate advisor for the biol
ogy department, said the survey favored current
students over graduates of the program.
“Twenty-five of the 29 responses were current
students, so we really haven’t heard from our stu
dents that have graduated and are already in the
world working,” Zoran said.
Zoran also believes that there should have
been more questions asked about course work.
“However, the survey does tell us where stu
dents would like to see improvement. Now we can
go ask them more specifically,” Zoran said.
NAGPS President Kimberly Suedkamp Wells,
one of the survey’s authors and a doctoral student
at the University of Missouri-Columbia, believes
the survey is breaking new ground.
“We’ve given graduate students the opportu
nity to be involved in their education. We hope
now that department heads and other administra
tors will use the survey to start a dialogue with
students about problems,” Wells said. “Because
of our survey, many students now feel like
they’ve been heard.”
More than 32,000 participants nationwide
responded to the online study. The participants
included 27,258 current Ph.D. students, 4,147
Ph.D. recipients (from 1995 or later) and 628 for
mer Ph.D. students who did not receive Ph.D.s
(since 1995).
