graduate political science stu
dent at West Texas A&M
University.
“We as a board, or even an as
an individual CSAB member,
can bring issues to the chancel
lor that we feel need to be
brought to his/her attention.”
Burgess said. “This is usually
done through teleconfrerences
or face-to-face meetings
throughout the year.”
Houser said the CSAB meets
with the chancellor once or
twice an academic year.
“We have a two-way dialogue
with the chancellor” Houser said.
“He tills in students on the sys
tem as a whole and we give him
feedback on how his decisions
affect the' students at the
University. We also inform him
about activities on campus.”
Houser said Chancellor
Howard Graves had contacted
the CSAB to discuss several
issues this year, including facili
ties on campus, research schol
ars and the selection of a new
University president.
The CSAB goes to Austin
every other year when the leg
islature is in session and during
the off-year they travel to
Washington D.C. to meet with
state representatives concern
ing A&M issues.
“This year the chancellor has
charged us with an issue to
research, which we will, in turn,
take to Washington D.C. during
our spring break trip,” said April
Somers, a senior microbiology
and political science major and
research and assessment vice
chair to CSAB. “Our issue this
year is ‘How Texas and the
A&M System can better utilize
federal research dollars.’”
Each member is supposed to
meet with the campus represen
tative who handles federal
research to get a better idea on
more specific areas.
“Basically, this is a way to
give students the opportunity to
express their concerns to
Schuyler (Houser) or myself
and then we can address those
concerns to the system as a
whole” Somers said. “Being a
part of this system allows us as a
University to have a stronger
voice. We can approach another
school and say, ‘hey, we have
this problem, do you want to
join this effort.’ When we go to
the legislature, it makes our
voice that much louder.”
She added that students can
go through student government
or through the CSAB represen
tatives to discuss issues they
would like to be presented to the
chancellor.
