What’s so troubling about A&M’s policy, however, is the fact that it emphasizes all the wrong things from the perspective of a student. By A&M’s standards, professors who teach large classes of students and conduct lucrative research are the most valuable or most “efficient.” However, while research is an im- GALLERY portant part of a professor’s job, so is teaching — something A&M doesn’t measure in its evaluations. While A&M’s solutions don’t always translate into similar ones at UT — no talk of $10,000 prizes for best student evaluations here — the most probable explanation for A&M’s recent interest in “efficiency” is lean budgets, something that is a prob- lem at UT. As UT grapples with the constraints of less money, administrators should not look to A&M as a model. Research is important to the University, but so is teaching.
