Recent Administrative Reorganization/History

[edit]

In 2021, President Banks released the plan for the reorganization The Path Forward.[1] It lists that the new Texas A&M University College of Arts and Sciences would be formed and fully operational by September 1st, 2022 from the previous College of Liberal Arts, College of Geosciences, and the College of Science. I hope this can be listed on the article somewhere. I created a list of the current colleges/schools of the University. It’s adapted from one that was on the page until a little over a year ago.

Recent issues

[edit]

Are the recent issues involving hiring and the president's resignation of long-term notability? If so, then someone please write a short paragraph about all this. 19:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC) 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:F43C:597E:C305:125C (talk) 19:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding us. This definitely belongs in the article and I've added a few sentences. ElKevbo (talk) 00:23, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Statement from the university president about Qatar

[edit]

Added statement of TAMU's President regarding inaccuracies and misconceptions of university. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.186.86.140 (talkcontribs) 06:13, May 27, 2024 (UTC)

No, you began an edit war to readd a vague sentence that said that the president made a statement. Specifically, you readded this sentence:
On 7 January 2024, Mark A. Welsh III, President of TAMU, addressed inaccuracies and misconceptions circulating on various websites and social media platforms regarding the University and its branch campus in Qatar and shared accurate information.[1]
Setting aside the minor issues such as the date format that's inconsistent with the rest of the article and the unnecessary middle initial in the person's name, the larger issues are (a) your edit warring to add this statement, (b) the vagueness of the statement, and (c) the fact that the sentence is just unnecessary. All of those issues need to be addressed, not ignored. ElKevbo (talk) 12:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
