General State funding for Texas A&M University, and possibly confirmation of its regents, might be on the line unless the university enrolls more minority students beginning next fall, a state senator said Monday.
Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, made the comment after African American and Hispanic lawmakers met with A&M President Robert Gates.
