Cc: Facebook GroupThanks for all the quick responses. It seems clear the
consensus is to use the A&M Foundation. Any election challenges will be thrown
out by SCOTUS.Just FYI, I would have also voted to use TAMF, and no "secret
ballots" were received.Next item, and I'd like to clear this one quickly as
well, is the name of the scholarship. Currently it's proposed as the "Class of
77 BQ" Sul Ross Scholarship.Sul Ross Scholarship is simply the name given to
this level of
scholarship.https://www.txamfoundation.com/.../Corps-of-Cadets...I'm going to
hazard a guess that BQ may not be a politically correct term much longer. Hell,
even "Sul Ross" is on a short leash these days.Perhaps "Aggie Band '77",
"Fighting Texas Aggie Band '77", "Aggie Band Class of '77"? Help me out here, I
have no idea. For that matter, we might even need to specify 1977.Next, it is
obviously a Corps scholarship. And we have set our preference for Aggie Band,
and the current requirement is a 3.0gpa. Some of us who graduated Summa Cum
Later wouldn't care if that was 2.75. It has been proposed that we do not
restrict class year of award. It has also been proposed that the recipient
renews every year they meet the requirements of BQ and 3.0.To reiterate earlier
posts, we are disallowed by IRS rules from having a say in the exact recipient,
we can only set standards. A rep from the Commandant's Office has the final
say.So the question today is multi-part. Please answer all parts.
- What is the name to be?
- What's the GPA requirement?
- Do we choose a year of first award (which?) or unrestricted?
- Does the recipient keep the award his entire Aggie Band career, or do we
have a new recipient each year?
Thanks for you prompt replies last time, and hopefully this time, and as
before, I will take private votes if you prefer.
