4 1 ADMINISTRATOR'S STATEMENT DATE: TIME: PAGE: 8/6/28 9:27:18AM 1 of Agency name: Texas A&M University at Galveston Board of Regents Texas A&M University System Bill Jones ~ Austin, Texas ~ 29 John D. White ~ Houston, Texas ~ 29 Morris Edwin Foster ~ Salado, Texas ~ 213 Lupe Fraga ~ Houston, Texas ~ 211 James P. Wilson, Jr. ~ Sugar Land, Texas ~ 213 J. L. Huffines ~ Lewisville, Texas ~ 213 Erle Nye ~ Dallas, Texas ~ 29 Gene Stallings ~ Powderly, Texas ~ 211 Ida Clement Steen ~ San Antonio, Texas ~ 211 Anthony Cullins ~ Dallas, Texas ~ 29 Dr. R. Bowen Loftin Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Texas A&M University at Galveston Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) is the coastal branch campus of Texas A&M University and is statutorily designated as a special-purpose institution dedicated to marine and maritime studies. Instructional, research and service programs focus specifically on the scientific, technical, business, socioeconomic and environmental policy issues concerning the oceans, coastal regions and maritime industries. The mission of TAMUG is accomplished through an integrated program of undergraduate and graduate education; maritime training for professional license programs; scholarly research in the marine sciences, business, engineering and humanities; and outreach programs for the public regarding marine environment, service to the maritime industry and K-12 science education. TAMUG provides quality undergraduate and graduate education in support of maritime and marine programs and supervises students in selected graduate programs of Texas A&M University. TAMUG serves as one of the six state maritime academies in the United States, is the only maritime academy located on the Gulf Coast and is the only maritime academy that is a composite part of a major American research university. Students graduating from this program are licensed as either Third Mate Deck Officers or Third Assistant Engineering Officers in the United States Merchant Marine or ensigns in the United States Coast Guard or United States Navy. In addition, maritime graduates currently serve as boat captains for inland waterways, pilots for major American and foreign harbors and engineers for offshore energy exploration and development. Other graduates accept positions in government, industry and medical laboratories; government regulatory agencies; educational institutions (including science teaching in public schools); and maritime industry administration. Many others enter medical, law and graduate schools. Texas is home to thirteen deep-water ports (Houston, Galveston, Texas City, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, Freeport, Port Aransas, Ingleside, Brownsville and Port Isabel), more than any other state in the nation. The impact of these ports on Texas economy is staggering. In The Houston Ship Channel and associated port industries support more than 785, direct and indirect jobs throughout Texas, generate over $118 billion in economic impact to the state and provide more than $3.7 billion in state and local tax revenue. When one adds the impact of the other twelve Texas ports, the economic consequences of seaborne trade on the state are immense. Moreover, with the likely widening of the Panama Canal and the opening of the Port of Houston s Bayport Container Terminal, Texas will likely

5 2 ADMINISTRATOR'S STATEMENT DATE: TIME: PAGE: 8/6/28 9:27:21AM 2 of Agency name: Texas A&M University at Galveston experience an order of magnitude increase in international trade over the next decade. Graduates of TAMUG are the catalysts for much of this extraordinary economic impact. We provide the pilots who move ships between the ports and the open Gulf of Mexico, we provide the management of ports throughout the state and we do the cutting-edge research that ensures the safety and environmental friendliness of maritime commerce as well as offshore oil and gas exploration and production. As we enter this legislative year, we are concerned about many areas and we request funding for the following priority needs for all of higher education: Base Funding: Fund growth in all higher education formulas and using the Higher Education or another recognized cost index fund the increased cost of doing business for our basic, on-going educational, general and student support operations. This includes providing increased base funding for our Texas A&M System Agencies core operations. Teaching Excellence: Using student evaluations, recognize and reward outstanding faculty through the chancellor s Teaching Excellence Awards initiative. Facilities Renewal: Existing E&G and campus infrastructure have reached the point where the need to invest funds to renew these facilities is critical. This includes such projects as deferred maintenance, modernizing HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other systems, meeting current building, life safety, and energy codes, and others. Student Financial Aid: Provide increased funds for student financial aid to help make higher education more affordable for more Texas families, however, not at the expense of funding to the universities. Incentive Funding: We support accountability and performance through incentive funding so long as our base funding needs are covered first. Research: Increase research funding available to institutions by doubling the funds allocated through the Competitive Knowledge Fund and Research Development Fund. Higher Education Group Health Insurance: Fund the increases in health care costs and enrollment (employee/retiree) growth. In preparation of this legislative request, TAMUG has considered issues within the context of its special purpose mission and unique physical location and has requested the following: Base Funding - Restoration of the1% base reduction (approximately $6K for the biennium) mandated by the Governor. A reduction of this size will require reductions in or elimination of one or more critical programs and a possible reduction in force. Possible program reductions or eliminations are 1) Ship Operations that support cadet licensing requirements 2) Marine Terminal Operations that support teaching, research, and outreach programs, 3) Academic Support programs such as tutoring, mentoring, and assistance services that specifically serve our at-risk students, and 4) Strategic Enrollment initiatives that target new recruitment efforts that help us achieve our closing the gaps goals. Tuition Revenue Bond Debt Service - We are asking for the authorization of Tuition Revenue Bonds to support our enrollment growth by expanding and rehabilitating existing facilities plus the associated debt service on these bonds. The institution cannot meet its "closing the gaps" target of 3, students without addressing the space shortage that has ranked TAMUG very high in classroom and laboratory usage in the state and has necessitated converting a leased warehouse into classrooms and administrative space. While the new Science Complex will partially support the growth necessary to meet our "closing the gaps" goals, partially support a new graduate program that has recently been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and to some extent, allow our research programs (now ranked third among public universities in the state in terms of federal expenditures per full-time-equivalent tenure/tenure-track faculty member) to continue their rapid expansion it will not meet all of TAMUG s growth demands. This Tuition Revenue Bond request specifically targets existing facilities that were developed when enrollment was significantly less than it is today and will be over the next decade. Specifically, we seek the necessary funds to rehabilitate the Jack K. Williams Library (over twenty years old), the Physical Education Facility (over fourteen years old) and its associated swimming pool, and the Mitchell Campus Physical Plant that was built when the campus had less than half its current structures. In addition, proceeds from

6 3 ADMINISTRATOR'S STATEMENT DATE: TIME: PAGE: 8/6/28 9:27:21AM 3 of Agency name: Texas A&M University at Galveston these bonds will also be used to expand the dock facilities used by the T/S Texas Clipper a training ship that is significantly larger than its two predecessors and to mitigate coastal erosion that is threatening the university s Wetlands Center. Detailed below are specifics supporting TAMUG's funding requests in addition to the 1% base funding restoration request andour request for authorization of Tuition Revenue Bonds and the associated debt service. We believe these are unique and necessary to the success of TAMUG and have high value for the entire State of Texas. Texas Institute of Oceanography. TAMUG ranks third among Texas public universities in federal research dollars expended per tenured and tenure-track FTE faculty. State funds appropriated for the Texas Institute of Oceanography (TIO) provide seed funding that leverage grants from federal and private sources at a rate of one state dollar to five federal or private dollars. This seed funding is not limited to TAMUG researchers but is also available to researchers at other state universities to use in leveraging federal and private grants. In addition, the TIO supports the training of a small number of postdoctoral researchers whose research addresses areas that are of high utility to the State of Texas. At this time of skyrocketing energy costs, coastal erosion and seafood safety concerns, it is imperative that Texas continues to target coastal and ocean research. Funding is requested to restore this program to pre-budget cut levels. Coastal Zone Laboratory. TAMUG is requesting funding for the Coastal Zone Laboratory (CZL). The CZL supports educational and training activities directed at the environment and ecology of Texas coastal areas. A major role of the CZL is to serve State of Texas agencies that need specific research and expertise on the coast and near-coast areas of Texas. The specific projects it supports are of direct relevance to the maintenance and growth of Texas fragile wetlands and near-coast environments. Thus, the CZL serves the state by enhancing the ability of the coast to attract tourism and well-designed development. Funding is requested to restore this program to pre-budget cut levels. Center for Texas Beaches and Shores. The Center for Texas Beaches and Shores is a Legislatively-created organization devoted to research that links science and engineering to policy to address the significant problems in Texas coastal environments. This center serves as a means of coordinating the efforts of Texas best researchers (from other Texas A&M University System and University of Texas System members) to do short-term, high-value research of direct relevance to state investments in beach and coastline restoration as well as in supporting environmentally-sound development of the Texas coast. The Center works closely with the Texas General Land Office to assist that office in using best practices in both restoration of the coast and building for resilience to storms and on-going coastal erosion. Coastal Erosion/Shore-side Dock Enhancements. One-time funds are requested to support a coastal erosion project at TAMUG s Mitchell Campus and shore-side dock enhancements to accommodate the Texas Maritime Academy s new training ship, the T/S Texas Clipper. TAMUG has lost over 4 feet from its bayside shoreline since Correcting the erosion problem on the west side of the island has the potential of reducing the silting problem at the berthing site of the T/S Texas Clipper, thus reducing dredging costs. The new training ship is over twice the tonnage of the previous training ship and is over 1 feet longer. To accommodate the new ship the dock must be lengthened and strengthened. In addition, we must double the power supply to the dock, given the much larger power requirements of the new ship while it is at the dock. Among major accomplishments during the current biennium, we wish to call attention to the following: 1) Most notable is the enrollment growth we have experienced from 21 to 27. During this period, student fall head counts increased from 1,366 to 1,644 and semester credit hours increased from 19,274 to 22,344. African-American enrollment in the fall of 21 was 15 students and has increased to 36 for fall 27. During this same period, Hispanic enrollment grew from 128 to 177 students. TAMUG is striving to meet its goals for Closing the Gaps. Accommodating this growth required some remarkable measures at TAMUG in terms of teaching resources, academic support programs and space.

7 4 ADMINISTRATOR'S STATEMENT DATE: TIME: PAGE: 8/6/28 9:27:21AM 4 of Agency name: Texas A&M University at Galveston 2) Construction has begun for a new Science Complex that will contain approximately 1, gross square feet of instructional, research and administrative space. This new building is essential to serve the newly-approved graduate programs in Marine Biology and to address continued enrollment growth. 3) The Masters in Marine Resources Management program has already attracted over 32 students, complimenting the 8-student graduate population from Texas A&M University who are in residence in Galveston and taught by TAMUG faculty. 4) The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has recently approved a new graduate program (masters and doctoral) in Marine Biology. This will be an Interdisciplinary Program between TAMUG, three colleges at Texas A&M University (Agriculture and Life Sciences, Geosciences and Sciences) and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. This program will be the largest (measured by faculty strength) Marine Biology graduate program in the world. Planning is also underway for a Masters of Maritime Administration and Logistics degree that is in high demand by Texas industry. 4) Demand for graduates of the Texas Maritime Academy (licensed deck and engineering officers) has never been greater. In addition, we have seen a record demand for graduates of the other degree programs offered at TAMUG. The current and future growth of Texas ports and international trade, coupled with the needs of Texas off-shore energy exploration and production industries, have created an unprecedented market for our graduates in all areas. As the only marine and maritime special-purpose institution in Texas and on the Gulf Coast, TAMUG provides an essential source of highly educated and trained men and women for the state and region. 5) Finally, no status report would be complete without recognizing the tremendous support being provided by TAMUG s educational outreach division in meeting the Texas mandate to improve K-12 science education. Our outreach camp program has welcomed well over 13, middle and high school students. With no state support, TAMUG s educational outreach division provides a plethora of science programs to children and teachers. Each summer approximately 9 students attend Sea Camp for a weeklong hands-on science program. Younger children (six years through eleven years of age) attend a day program known as SeaCampus Kids to motivate and prepare them to excel in science and mathematics in their local schools. In conjunction with Sea Camp, approximately 8 volunteer teachers are trained in enhanced science teaching. Every sixth grader in Galveston visits the campus each year for a day of science, and the campus has developed lesson plans and virtual science tours on the internet for use by teachers in their home classrooms. Science workshops were conducted in approximately 14 public and private schools this past year. TAMUG also hosts large numbers of public school field trips, providing science instruction in the marine and coastal environs of Galveston Island and adjacent areas using the wetlands center, campus vessels and graduate student guides. Background Checks TAMUG s statutory authority to conduct background checks on employees of the university comes from Texas Government Code Chapter 411 Subchapter (f) and Texas Education Code Section It is TAMUG s policy and practice to conduct such checks on all employees being considered for positions at Texas A&M University at Galveston. TAMUG is a small but very unique institution serving Texas as a marine and maritime educational and research resource for a state with 3,359 miles of coastline and six of the top ten ports for inbound and outbound tonnage in the United States. The faculty, administration and staff of TAMUG are seriously dedicated to giving this great state an excellent return on every dollar invested.

It includes not only salaries and wages of those involved in the teaching functions, but those supporting the instructional program, such as deans, advisors, graduate assistants, and clerical staff. Additionally, salaries and wages to operate the library and purchase library materials such as books, journals, microforms, and computer-based information, plus binding costs, and other library operating costs are funded. Salaries, wages, and other costs to support the administration of the institution are included in this strategy, including business and fiscal management, executive management, human resources, development efforts, purchasing, and other functions of a general nature, which benefit the institution as a whole. Included are costs associated with providing student services such as admissions, registration, student financial aid, placement services, and counseling. The expenses in this strategy also include those with funding provided through the Institutional Enhancement (3-4-4) strategy. *Not included are Designated Tuition expenditures.

Enrollment can increase or decrease based on a multitude of factors including demographics, economics, weather conditions, and legal and political issues. The number of students available for enrolling into college is determined by demographic trends and personal economics. Availability of financial aid through federal and state sources, as well as philanthropic groups is impacted by the economic viability of the nation, state, and local areas. Actions by the legislature, such as the mandated state appropriation reductions of 24, coupled with continued increases in costs, may result in an increase of Designated Tuition in order to maintain current service levels. These increases impact prospective students ability to afford this institution, especially low-income students which, in turn, effects our ability to "Close the Gaps". Weather conditions, such as a colder than average winter or hotter than average summer may cause utility costs to soar, thus removing funds from the institutional programs. Because the campus is located near the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston, the campus is very vulnerable to a catastrophic hurricane. Pressure from peer universities has a dramatic effect on our ability to attract and retain high quality faculty. In short, our campus can be greatly affected by external factors. 3.A. Page 4 of 26
