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.

Here’s the direct quote from the Eagle’s Dec. 6 (2003) edition:
“There will be segregated money to use in scholarships to make one-on-one recruiting more plausible to
the success of the issue,” Mays said. “In addition, we’re going to give minorities access to other
scholarships.”
