Gates
Continued from page 1A
in the early 1990s, but was honored to be an
invited candidate and supports the University’s
goals.
Gates said adding esteemed faculty is an inte
gral part of realizing Vision 2020.
To support the changes and address the finan
cial crunch A&M faces from dwindling state
funding. Gates said he would have A&M work
with the University of Texas-Austin to educate
the state legislature on the economic and educa
tional importance of funding the state’s flagship
universities. He said he would also work to iden
tify influential business executives to act as high
er education advocates to the legislature.
Gates said aggressive pursuit of a diverse
campus is important, and that as president, he
would need to learn more about diversity issues
in Texas.
Gates supports Bowen’s recent decision to
cancel plans for a Bonfire in 2002.
“His handling of Bonfire was downright heroic,”
Gates said. “Ray Bowen’s instincts were all just
right in terms of compassion and openness.”
Rumors of the two unnamed candidates have
not fazed him. Gates said.
“The Board of Regents should have all the
latitude they need to make the decision that will
be in the best interest of this University,” he said.
Gates touted his leadership skills with the CIA
and his relationships with legislators. He also said
he gained administrative experience as dean of
the Bush School through interacting with faculty,
building programs and working on budgets.
In Gates’ two-year term at the Bush School,
the faculty grew 20 percent and the endowment
tripled.
Search committee chair Dr. John L. Junkins
boasted Gates’ achievements with his 30-year
career in the CIA, including his advising to 6
U.S. presidents, his leadership to modernize and
restructure the agency and his diversification of
the CIA’s historically all-male, all-white public
work force.
“This is a man who knows about management
and ambition,” Junkins said.
SAT
Continued from page 1A
misleading answers. Estrada
said the committee also is
reviewing for economic biases
in light of controversy that the
test caters toward students
from higher income areas who
can afford expensive SAT
preparation courses.
“We are looking at cultural
biases as well, like specific
words that may be unfamiliar to
specific populations,” he said.
The revision committee is
comprised of 14 university
administrators, high school
counselors, statisticians and test
developers and sits under the
nonprofit College Board that
owns and administers the SAT.
In 2000, 1.3 million students
took the exam. More than
111,000 college-bound Texans
took the test, second only to
California. Estrada is the only
Texan on the committee.
Estrada said the changes
were prompted last year when
the University of California sys
tem president proposed that his
system drop the SAT for an
exam that would better test what
students learned in high school.
After the UC system began
research for its own testing
system, the College Board
quickly put together a revision
board to try and address the
changes before its biggest
customer bailed.
"Since the UC said what
they said about the test, we
have talked to lots of people,
and it became real clear to me
that we needed to come to
some conclusions quickly,”
College Board President
Gaston Caperton told the Los
Angeles Times.
So far, the UC system is still
a customer and has publicly
expressed satisfaction with the
direction of the SAT’s revisions.
Estrada said the revisions
are not just being made to
appease the UC system.
“We will be looking at an
exam with higher predictive
power” he said. “We will be
able to get a better idea if a stu
dent can meet the academic rig
ors of university.”
A spokesperson for the ACT.
the SAT’s major competitor,
said the ACT will not be revised
in response, but a writing sec
tion is being developed solely
for California schools.
