Michael Sacken, a professor of education, said uni- versities at the next level are traditionally defined as those that create knowledge through graduate and research programs. "The history of TCU is such that you would almost have to burn it to the ground and rebuild it to make cer- tain changes," he said. "It is built on the undergraduate tradition ...(people) don't want to make it a cutthroat place." But for TCU to move to the next level, changes must be made in the academic structure of the university. All areas of higher education: academics, diversity and sense of community must be strengthened. And this commission is just the thing to initiate these changes. With voices coming from students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders in the university.the commission rep- resents a diverse population of opinions. The commission is a step in the right direction, and one long overdue. We hope it is as effective as it aims to be.
