II ■ Kl M p\ Senate Continued from page 1 campus in the report. “TAMU is basically an enclave for the education of white students by white faculty...[and the statistics indicate] TAMU's growing inability...to effectively attract, retain, and educate diverse Texas and American citizens,” the report says. Fiscal problems, institutional constraints and the 1996Hopwood decision that ended race-based admissions are cited as some factors that have made it more difficult for quali fied minority students to attend A&M. Peters Continued from page 1 engineering-based organizations such as the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the Institute for Operations Research and The Management Sciences and the American Society for Engineering Education. Peters was chosen to serve as interim head of Flagg said institutional con straints include factors that arc out of the hands of University officials, such as the image of A&M as a conservative, white. Christian school, and the fact that Bryan/College Station is not an urban center. “It was not too long ago that this University was all-male and all-military” Strawser said. “We need to be proactive in order to recruit minorities to Texas A&M.” One action specifically target ing undergraduates is the devel opment of a system for reporting and evaluating acts of discrimina tion by the Office of Student Affairs. Strawser said this might be a mechanism to take corrective action when the In A&M is known for ed to every one. “Our concern v is going,” Flagg A&M d. “li pn ;h 1 years, the minority of Texas w ill be mu< we do not take steps to alleviate the problem now, we will not be serving the population of Texas.
