Agenda Item No. AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING Submitted by: F. Dominic Dottavio, Ph.D., President Tarleton State University Subject: Authorization to Continue Offering the Master of Science in Environmental Science Proposed Board Action: Authorize Tarleton State University (Tarleton) to continue offering the Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Science. Background Information: Tarleton’s degree program inventory currently includes an M.S. in Environmental Science. This program graduated significantly fewer students from 2008 to 2012 than the minimum required by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), resulting in it being identified by the THECB as “low producing.” Effective September 1, 2013, the THECB does not possess the authority to direct institutions to close or consolidate programs. Instead, the THECB provides a recommendation to the appropriate governing board and the governing board must determine the appropriate action. The

  • A. Spirit [Cover] F09 11.25
    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE | FALL 2009 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Foundation Steers Steady Course In September the Texas A&M Foundation celebrated its 56th birthday and 10th anniversary in the Jon L. Hagler Center. It was a delight to see more than 400 of you—our former students and friends—at our pregame celebration Sept. 5. Much has changed since we moved into our new building in 1999. Many of you recall when the corner of Houston and what used to be “Jersey” Street was the University Police station. A few of you might remember even further back, when this spot was the location of an old county project house built in the late 1930s. There is a certain elegant symbolism in the fact that the campus home to major-gift philanthropy—the Hagler Center—sits on the site of a fundamental act of charity: folks back home helping poor kids go to college. Ten years ago the Foundation employed 72 people and managed assets of $537.9 million. Today we have 95 on our staff and oversee $1.2 billion in assets for Texas A&M. Back then we didn’t have an Internet and fans were just good Ags at Kyle Field, not people following our Facebook page. I’m privileged to say that my position and title have not changed since 1993. Bob Rutledge, my predecessor, directed the Foundation for 12 years before me. I hope you agree that this stable leadership, along with your generous gifts, has contributed to our success. Leadership change at A&M has been much in the news.

They were scholars, student athletes, active in Boy Scouts, 4-H, Church groups,they were leaders. If you had to chose a dozen students to represent the best of Texas A&M, you probably wouldn't do much better than these. I have just learned about Timothy Doran Kerlee, Jr. He was the twelfth student to die, when his life support was disconnected last Friday evening. Let me tell you about this amazing kid. Tim graduated last year from Germantown High School in Germantown,Tennessee. He was an Eagle Scout, graduated third in his class, and was elected to his High School Hall of Fame. He was a student athlete, and a member of the National Honor Society. He was active in the youth group and drama club at his Methodist Church. He was actively recruited by Texas A&M, and when he enrolled he tested out of his entire freshman year. That is how this 17 year-old could be classified as a sophomore.

  • March 19, 2013 Dr. R. Bowen Loftin Office of the President 1246 TAMU Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843 Dear
    March 19, 2013 Dr. R. Bowen Loftin Office of the President 1246 TAMU Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843 Dear Dr. Loftin, On September 21, 2012 I sent the original version of this letter (regarding the flawed beveled logo) to the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, yourself, and the Athletic Director. On September 25th Regent Richard Box informed me via email that they would look into the bevel issue and thanked me for my attention to detail. Since everyone is extremely busy during football season I waited until after the Cotton Bowl and emailed Regent Box for an update on January 15th. The Regent Chairman replied later that same day and informed me that you and Jason Cook are dealing with this issue. Starting with the official SEC announcement back in September of 2011 up to the SEC Championship in Women‟s Basketball, Texas A&M has accomplished so much that it is overwhelming. Major announcements such as the law school and the federal grant for the biodefense center came the summer before the inaugural SEC football season. Aggies everywhere are proud of how far we have come. Texas A&M has history and traditions that are very unique. Outsiders might not understand our traditions, but we, as Aggies, do. One thing that many other Aggies and I cannot understand is why marketing continues to push the beveled aTm logo, which is the purpose of this letter. The beveling is geometrically incorrect, unbalanced, aesthetically unappealing, lessens the impact of the Block T, and is just plain confusing. The white aTm logo with gray bevel highlights over a maroon background is not an improvement.
