Imperative 7: Increase Access to Intellectual ResourcesThis is just typical of how Vision 2020 was dominated by the faculty. The students don't want to be intellectuals. They want to get a degree from Texas A&M so they can get jobs. Besides, they can already access Google and Wikipedia from their cell phones.

More on access here.

Imperative 3: Enhance the Undergraduate Academic ExperienceEnhancement is code for nonsense we don't need. A&M was a damn fine school when the Governor went there; we can save a lot of money by cutting all the PC nonsense that came after that.

Imperative 2: Strengthen Our Graduate ProgramsNow that we're giving up on the pointless and expensive pursuit of quality, we can save the taxpayers a lot of money by getting rid of the grad students. They keep the faculty from spending time on real teaching, and they aren't eligible for football.

And they're troublemakers.
