The Texas A&M Foundation Magazine | Summer 2010 THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE | S U M M E R 2 0 1 0 PresiDent’s letter Back to the Future a college education represents opportunity for young people. at a&M that edu- cation includes the infusion of aggie spirit. this mixture of aggie spirit and our quality academic and leadership programs shape people with distinct character and wisdom. these special people and programs spark your passion for philan- thropy. they are the reason you continue to give to a&M even through difficult economic times. With this issue of Spirit magazine, i challenge you to consider texas a&M’s future and how to be part of it. We spend considerable time talking to former students about planned gifts (gifts realized after a person’s lifetime). the vehicles that deliver these future gifts take many forms, from a simple gift in your will to individual retirement accounts (iras), life insurance, gift annuities and charitable trusts. Planned gifts don’t require cash up front—making a&M the beneficiary of an ira, for example. other planned gifts such as charitable trusts can benefit you and your family during your lifetime and then benefit texas a&M after your lifetime. one of our consultants reports that an average 30 percent of the cash received by higher education foundations comes from planned gifts. at the texas a&M Foundation, that figure is about 15 percent. this means that former students and friends have not yet fully realized the value and potential of planned gifts to our university. to me, it represents a significant opportunity and gives me hope that we’re on the brink of tapping into a wellspring of private giving for a&M in the future. the most transformational gifts in u.s. higher education have come from estate gifts. structured properly, planned charitable gifts can also transform texas a&M, taking it to new heights of excellence. regardless of age or income level, any of you can participate in texas a&M’s future now through a planned gift. it’s an easy way to show your passion for a&M and guarantee your aggie legacy. Planned gifts also illustrate your confidence in texas a&M and your com- mitment to achieving our goals well into the future. My message to you is more than marketing; it’s conviction. i believe in texas a&M and the aggies it produces. My wife, Jo ann, and i have demonstrated this belief through a major gift in my will. i’m not alone. eight other Foundation employees also have created planned gifts to benefit a&M. to learn more, i hope you’ll watch the video on Page 3 of our online magazine (giving.tamu.edu/spiritMagazine). remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way. eddie j. davis ’67 president texas a &m foundation Dr. Lawrence DuBose ’42 and his late wife, Wanda (left), established a civil engineering scholarship in 1997.

NATURE AND STAGE OF PROCEEDINGS Durrenberger filed suit claiming disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. Durrenberger complained his hearing loss prevented him from participation in visitation with an inmate. The Court has determined Durrenberger is hearing impaired and that TDCJ discriminated against Durrenberger by failing to accommodate Durrenberger’s disability with an auxiliary hearing device or an attorney-client booth visit. TDCJ seeks reconsideration of the Court’s ruling because: 1) Durrenberger’s admission that he has not used or carried an auxiliary device set against his claim he is entitled to an auxiliary aid at TDCJ presents a factual issue for the jury as to whether he has a disability and whether TDCJ reasonably accommodated any disability and 2) a factual dispute remains regarding the Rehabilitation Act Case 4:09-cv-00786 Document 51 Filed in TXSD on 01/04/11 Page 2 of 5 causation factor necessary to a determination of intentional discrimination.
