It's a clear need that our non-Anglo students be competitive.

If you look in the 1990s, in every one of the 50 states, non-Anglo Hispanic populations grew faster than Anglo populations. It's a very pervasive pattern.

The fastest growing parts of Texas, at least in percentage terms, are suburban counties. Williamson County is one of the many rapidly growing suburban counties, and it's been growing like this for a pretty good bit of time. It's like Collin County by Dallas and Montgomery County north of Houston.

We serve students who can't come to the campus and take 18 hours of courses. But we do everything to ensure that our online courses match the quality in the classroom. They are taught by the same faculty with a lower teacher to student ratio.

We are disappointed in our students' performance on the 2005 SAT and are taking immediate action to determine how we can better prepare for next year. We are forming a task force from within our high schools to study what is working, what went wrong, and develop a plan for improvement.

We're privileged to help in the celebration of Tocqueville's 200th birthday. It will be great for Yale students to hear leading Tocqueville experts share their views.
