The first quarterly business meeting of the Texas A&M system board of regents with Glenn Hegar as chancellor included a couple of departures from his predecessors.
During the chancellor’s report, Hegar elected to not give highlights of what’s happening at system universities and agencies, explaining “it really wouldn’t do justice for all of the things that we do. I think to actually truly give an update of all the things that we have done over the course of the last year or even the last few days or the last month, I mean I would have to sit up here today, tomorrow, most of next week. I mean it’s a remarkable list of things that we do.”
Hegar pointed out the regents meeting was taking place during his 59th day on the job, where he has visited all system universities and agencies.
Hegar also applauded the system’s response to July 4th flooding in the hill country.
Then Hegar excused himself for a time to be with his daughter who was getting her Aggie ring sized.
Hegar returned to the meeting in time to be asked to comment on the regents hiring a new president of the A&M International campus, an interim president at the system’s new university in Victoria, and the selection of the system’s new general counsel. Hegar told regents chairman Bob Albritton of Ft. Worth “I think we move forward.”
