  • University of Texas Faces New Outcry Over Old Song with Minstrel Roots
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ University of Texas Faces New Outcry Over Old Song With Minstrel Roots Many students want “The Eyes of Texas” to go. Wealthy alumni insist it should stay. The dispute has become a flash point as universities struggle to deal with traditions spawned in earlier eras. Fans singing “The Eyes of Texas” at a University of Texas football game in Austin. By Edgar Sandoval and Simon Romero May 7, 2021 SAN ANTONIO — For generations, the fight song at the University of Texas at Austin has been etched into the state’s very fabric. For students, the words “the eyes of Texas are upon you” have been sung before and after every sporting event and commencement. Beyond the campus, the song is ever-present at weddings and funerals — and even space, where it was a wake-up call for astronauts on the Gemini, Apollo and Skylab missions. But since last summer, the anthem, which was first performed in 1903 at a minstrel show by white students who were likely in blackface, has divided the Longhorn community, pitting administrators and wealthy donors against students and faculty who want the university to abolish it and write a new alma mater. University leaders had hoped to quell the uproar over “The Eyes of Texas” after a committee issued a report in March determining that the song had “no racist intent.” But after administrators doubled down on the position that it would remain a central 2 feature of university life, tension has escalated, with student campus tour guides going on strike, pleas from Black legislators to lose the song and threats by wealthy alumni to cut off donations if that were to happen.

  • Page Dr. Jennifer R. Hammat April 19, 2015 Dear
    April 19, 2015 Dear Search Committee Members, It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application materials for your consideration to be your next Assistant Vice President for Campus Sexual Assault & Title IX Coordinator (AVP/TIXC) at the University of Oregon. For 20 years, I have worked with and on behalf of students to improve the quality of their overall educational experience. As evidenced by my resume, I have served in various student life capacities at major universities in my career. During this time, I have worked collaboratively with common purpose alongside colleagues at the campus and system levels to promote student success. I have developed, overseen, and evaluated many programs and activities aimed at improving the undergraduate and graduate student experience. Growing up in a student affairs home, I learned about student development theory, student crisis management, staff morale, personnel matters and budget issues at our dining room table. Perhaps before I knew it, this work was always my calling. For eight years, I served as the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. Four years ago I was selected by the president to also serve as the Institutional Title IX Coordinator. This role has been profoundly insightful and motivating, and has expanded in importance for the president and the institution. The position was relocated to University Compliance Services last year and reclassified to Associate Vice President to elevate the significance of Title IX, Clery Act and Youth Protection Program compliance to the campus community. Having served as the lead administrator for this portfolio, I recognized the need to locate this role closer to the president in University Compliance Services.

  • Into the Jungle, Or: the Charade of Student Government
    V O X P O P U L I Mar 29 Into The Jungle, Or: The Charade of Student Government anurag singh The interior of the UT Student Government assembly room Room 2.102 of the Student Activity Center, the UT Student Government’s conference room, is in desperate need of a home makeover. Dismally monochromatic, it does not draw favorable comparisons to more noteworthy boardrooms of power, like those of the United Nations, which is almost certainly the look the designers were going for. Unfortunately, the layout of the room demonstrates a complete lack of ambition. There’s simply no character to the place; the impression given is neither that of a professional and storied hall (e.g. the chambers of the US Congress) nor a smoke-filled, Blofeld-ian nightmare (e.g. FIFA headquarters). The lonely mahogany podium backed into a corner is hardly the kind of dais a great statesperson would demand for an engaging and insightful speech. The view from the inexplicably divided window is not of the verdant scenery here at the university, not of students engaging in lively conversation or dutifully studying or playing Frisbee (this, I assume, is what comprises the life of the archetypal UT student though I myself have never participated in any of these activities — I’m told they’re all enjoyable and meaningful experiences) but of an equally dull building. The white, plastic chairs afforded to members of the general public are uncomfortable and confining, and their vogue foldable tables simply can’t be used because of how heavily crowded the chairs are.
