Faculty leaders at Texas A&M University in College Station are calling on President Kathy Banks to better collaborate and be more transparent with professors about changes to the university.
Texas A&M University President Kathy Banks at the Zachry Engineering Education Complex in College Station on March 30, 2021. This week faculty leaders voted on a resolution that called on Banks to work closer with them on major decisions., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
“[S]ustainable and lasting change at a major university comes not via presidential decree, but rather by developing collective buy-in for new ideas from its constituent groups,” the resolution states. It also calls for Banks to recommit to the academic principle of shared governance. At least one faculty senator said at the meeting that if the status quo continues, it could lead to a vote of no confidence.
“It’s disappointing that this resolution doesn’t recognize the extensive faculty input that has been listened to on every major issue and change that has occurred in the last year,” said N.K. Anand, vice president for faculty affairs. “There have been multiple opportunities for faculty opinion to influence decisions. There simply is not a single example given of when both the spirit and the letter of the policy was not followed.
Banks also approved a restructuring of the Qatar campus, a branch of Texas A&M in the Middle East that offers engineering undergraduate and graduate degrees.
