teaching for so long, his brother said, but. after
only a short time, he managed to gain the respect
of the department.
“He came in right off the street and was
respected quickly by his professors because of his
background,” Jeffrey Borowiec said.
Before coming to A&M, Borowiec received his
bachelor’s degree in political science from
California State University in Long Beach and his
master’s degree from the University of Arizona.
During his studies at A&M. he worked as
research assistant for the National Space
Biomedical Research Institution and for the Social
Studies Center. He taught courses in social studies
methods for middle school and high school for
three semesters at A&M.
Jeffrey Borowiec said his brother was outgoing
and cared about his students.
“One remarkable thing about Jon was how he
was able to connect with these kids, these college
students, who were getting ready to leave college
for careers of their own,” his brother said. “It wlis
amazing.”
He said his brother would take the passion
that he had for teaching and transfer it to his stu
dents, and he did everything he could to help
them find jobs.
“Nothing made his day better than to hear that
one of his students had gotten a job,” Jeffrey
Borowiec said.
School was important to Borowiec, his broth
er said. Jeffrey Borowiec said his brother's 11-
year-old son, Brian, who lives in Arizona, is
beginning to realize how important it is to get an
education, which is probably something he
learned from his father.
Dr. Lynn Burlhaw. Borowice’s dissertation
adviser, said Borowiec was a focused individual.
Burlhaw said his student was easy to get along
with.
“He was a good friend.” Burlhaw said. “Lots of
people, students and faculty, are going to miss him.”
Jeffrey Borowiec said his brother was his best
friend. He enjoyed sports, especially golf, and he
loved music: he played the tlute, guitar and piano.
"We’d hear a song on the radio, and when we
got home. Jon would play it on the piano after
hearing it only once ” Jeffrey Borowiec said. “He
had a great ear for music. I know I am really going
to miss that.”
Borowiec said his brother was a great scholar
who will be remembered for what he brought his
students and professors.
“He touched a lot of people here in a short
time,” Jeffrey said. “TTiey really respected him.”
Borowiec will be honored at Silver Taps on
Feb. 5.

stringent than the top 10 percent rule. Top
20 percent students must meet the same
admission standards as any other applicant,
including entrance exam scores and course
requirements. A student within the top 20
percent who does not meet these standards
will not be accepted, he said.
The board is consulting the attorney gen
eral on the legal issues of the plan, which sit
in the shadow of the 1996 Hopwood deci
sion. Hopwood prohibits universities from
considering race in admission decisions.
Douglas said Hopwood’s wording
encourages consideration through demo
graphic criteria other than race. Racial pop
ulations at the target schools have not been
researched, he said.
Fall 2003 is the earliest the plan could go
into effect, which will offer time to work out
details and consider the attorney general’s
decision, Douglas said.
Rudy Zamora, head guidance counselor
at Harlandale High School, one of San
Antonio’s potential target schools, said the
plan is an excellent way to attract students to
the University.
"With the top 10 percent rule, theie
always that two or three percent just out'

plan, A&M’s admission requirements w

said in Dec. 21 letter.
“However, the CAFTR was not
asked by me to review the find

Committee.”
Bowen said CAFTR was to
determine whether Zey should
be terminated on the basis of
the Investigation Committee’s
findings. He then asked the
committee to meet again to
consider if Zey’s conduct,
found unprofessional by the
Investigation Committee, was
cause for her discharge.
In the process of Zey’s
appeals to the University, Bowen
sided with the Investigation
Committee's findings and
agreed with Douglas’decision to
dismiss her.
“I have previously affirmed
and still affirm that the factual
findings of the Investigation
Committee are not in doubt,”
Bowen said. “I fully understand
