This statement and others were
chanted Wednesday afternoon as hundreds of Texas A&M faculty, staff, students and members of the Bryan
-College Station community gathered for a rally sponsored by the Faculty Committed to an Inclusive
Campus (FCIC) to promote diversity on campus.
“We have to make sure that we represent
Texas A&M to the outside community the way we want to be represented,” said James Anderson, vice
president for diversity.
