“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 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.

It is possible w'e will lose our

Legislature.”
Flagg said the report will be
submitted to the Faculty Senate
at Monday’s meeting,
“If they like it, they w ill vote
on it.” he said. "Otherw ise, we’ll
have to go back to the drawing
