Q. What has your experience been like as a minority within the academic circles that you have been a part of. A. Well, just in general, it has been quite positive. I do not have any other comparisons other than my exposure in academics so together, I do not associate any stigma when that occurs. Q. Have you seen any changes at Baylor or throughout your career? A. With regards to Baylor, we have seen an increase in diversity both with faculty and students and staff. The overall university climate has generally changed partly. I guess some of the very strong religious symbols may have become more moderate as far as the overall environment is concerned. The quality of students seems to continue to improve each year. So there have been some positive changes that I have observed over my 30 years here at Baylor. Academics are kind of slow to change but the directional change of Baylor is going in a positive direction. Our football season this year is kind of MOSAIC 16
