News from Executive Director, Patricia Potyka
Dear All,
By the time you read this, I will be at Rice University, conducting a member
outreach visit with President David Leebron. Rice has been a valued member of The Compact since our inception in October of 2000 so I would like to take a
moment and highlight some of their accomplishments as they pertain to civic
engagement and community based service learning. Rice is one of the few universities in Texas who has applied for and received the impressive "Community Engagement Classification" from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching - in recognition of its curriculum and community outreach and partnerships. The Carnegie Classification reflects the collaboration between higher education campuses and their local, regional, state, national, and global communities for the mutually reciprocal exchange of knowledge and resources. The Carnegie Classification is used by academic researchers and institutional policy makers; it covers curricular engagement and outreach and partnerships. "Given that becoming more engaged with the city of Houston is one of the goals of President David Leebron's Vision for the Second Century, we are truly excited to learn that the Carnegie Foundation has acknowledged Rice's community engagement efforts," states Dr. Stephanie Post, executive director of Rice's Center for Civic Engagement. The Carnegie Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has also recognized other TXCC members: The University of Houston, University of Houston Downtown, Southwestern University, and Texas Tech University. According to Anthony S. Bryk, Carnegie Foundation President, "We hope that by acknowledging the commitment and accomplishment of these engaged institutions, the foundation will encourage other colleges to move in this direction. Next month, I will be traveling to the Lonestar College System, to present to their campuses - a comprehensive overview of the Carnegie Classification. Should your campus desire to apply for the Carnegie Classification, please notify me so that TXCC can assist you in your efforts. As always, we appreciate your continued investment in The Compact and thank you for all that you each do towards the betterment of higher education in the state of Texas. In Peace and Friendship, Patricia

Compact VISTAs in Action:
MLK Day of Service!
January 18th marked the 24th annual celebration of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For all 17 of our AmeriCorps VISTAs working with Texas Campus Compact, this day is more than a day off. It's a day to celebrate our thriving communities, many of which we have moved to just recently, and give back. I am proud to report that our TxCC VISTAs contributed over 90 volunteer hours over the MLK holiday weekend. Our projects included health care outreach, coordinating food donations for those in need, renovating a community center, planning volunteer activities, and participating the MLK marches with students across the state of Texas. I am ecstatic that these already busy and hard-working VISTA volunteers took time during one of their few vacation days to contribute to the national service movement. Please take the time to read some of their experiences during MLK Day 2010, below.

Kitchen Aid: Students pack boxed lunches
Jan. 20, 2010 By Tori Liggett, Reporter
Individual students and student organizations helped Campus Kitchen by packing boxed lunches this past weekend and delivering them to nine different locations in Waco.
Baylor's Campus Kitchen partnered with Community Health Corps, an AmeriCorps health program, to make lunches to feed volunteers. Heart of Texas Urban Gardening Coalition sponsored a day for the Waco community to gather and work in local gardens. The event provided a time and place where volunteers could come and get their hands dirty.
The objective was to give these gardens beauty, even in the winter, and give the community an active part in coloring their world. The Waco Arts Initiative provided opportunities for participants to create a 3 feet by 8 feet mural at each site to be set in each garden. The murals were paintings about Martin Luther King Jr. Day and reflected upon the day's activities.
"The MLK Day of Service (Monday) went very smoothly. We had an excess of volunteers, which both helped things move quickly and efficiently but was also very encouraging to us as an organization," Crandall junior Drew Stevens said. "This encouragement was very important to us as we are continuing to try to grow Campus Kitchens to help serve more people the food that they need. The serving of the box lunches in conjunction with MLK Day was a great way to do that and to kick off another great year of Campus Kitchens as well."
Campus Kitchen was excited to see the volunteers' eager participation and the good reaction the students received from the community. "We had great feedback from all site managers in regards to the volunteers. All activities were very time efficient. I was very excited because many of the volunteers showed interest in volunteering for Campus Kitchen in the future," Amanda Allen, the Learning Service Liaison, said.
The box lunches were prepared on Saturday and Sunday in the Family and Consumer Science kitchen. They were delivered Monday morning to different sites throughout Waco.
Students not only got to serve the community but also become more involved in a growing service on campus.
"I think one of the hallmarks of the Baylor experience is the opportunity to learn and serve," Rosemary Townsend, director of business affairs and community partnerships, said "Campus Kitchen is a wonderful service learning project. It provides a solution to help feed those in need in a positive proactive manner."
Last year alone, Campus Kitchen rescued 3,030 pounds of food, supplied 4,000 meals and provided 2,382 hours of volunteer service. Campus Kitchen is excited that this year, not only are they going to be continuing to deliver food to the Salvation Army Monday through Friday but will also be broadening their service by taking food to the Family Abuse Center on Thursdays starting the this week.
"What's different about Campus Kitchens is that it's a tangible solution. If we have enough food in Waco to feed everyone, people shouldn't go to bed hungry. End of story," Allen said. "The McLennan County Hunger Coalition is essentially doing the same thing with restaurants in the area. They just need bodies to help pick up and deliver the food so if we push awareness for what we're trying to do, I really think we could change the face of hunger in Waco and other cities trying to do this all over Texas."

Haiti Earthquake Relief |
|
A Message from NOVICA
Dear Friends,
We're extremely concerned about the massive earthquake that struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The latest field reports as of this morning show more than 3 million impacted with over 100,000 dead and tens of thousands more injured. This is one of the worst natural disasters since the Asian tsunami of 2004, which affected so many of our artisans.
Haiti is a country with such a difficult history. It is one of the most impoverished nations in the world. Haiti is also known worldwide for its amazing folk art. Some of the best artisan painters in the world live in Haiti. We're very saddened that this disaster has impacted so many people, including many of these talented artists.
We're also saddened by the impact on so many relief workers stationed in Haiti. They had traveled there to do good and help people, and now had this terrible natural disaster befall them.
If you'd like to directly support the relief efforts, here are some direct links:
Unicef: http://www.unicef.org
Oxfam: http://oxfam.org
Mercy Corps: http://www.mercycorps.org
Doctors without Borders: http://doctorswithoutborders.org
The Red Cross: http://www.redcross.org
We are joining the relief efforts by donating 10% of our sales from Brazil, Mexico, and Peru:

UT Tuition hike necessary, committee says
Proposed 3.95 percent tuition hikes in 2010-11 and again in 2011-12 are needed to stave off further cuts to University of Texas programs and staff, according to recommendations by students, administrators and faculty that were presented at a public forum Wednesday evening.
The nine-member Tuition Policy Advisory Committee wrote in a December report that without the increases in tuition and fees, UT would have to cut at least $17.3 million from its budget during the 2010-11 school year and $14. 2 million in 2011-12.
Wednesday's forum was the first of two; the other is scheduled for Tuesday.
University President William Powers Jr. will submit his final tuition increase proposal to the University of Texas System Board of Regents by Jan. 31 . Regents will decide on Powers' recommendations in March.
The proposal would apply to all undergraduate and graduate programs except for professional programs such as law and pharmacy, whose students would see various increases depending on the program.
"No student wants a tuition increase," said UT junior Carly Castsetter, who attended Wednesday's forum. "Right now, we can point our finger at the Texas Legislature, though, because tuition increases every year, and it seems like their funding (to public universities) decreases."
Undergraduate students from Texas would pay, on average, $4,709 in tuition and mandatory fees per semester in 2010-11 under the plan. That is 5.4 percent , or $241, more than current charges because, in addition to a 3.95 percent boost in tuition, it includes a new $65 fee approved in a 2006 student referendum to pay for a Student Activity Center under construction on the east side of campus. Charges would rise to $4,895 a semester in 2011-12. Undergraduates from Texas currently pay $4,468 a semester.
"The tuition increase is to maintain the people we already have, the administrators and faculty," said Kevin Hegarty , UT's chief financial officer. "If we didn't increase tuition, we would have to make quite a bit of staff cuts."
Since the Legislature authorized Texas public universities to set their own tuition rates in 2003, the cost of tuition and fees has increased by 86 percent, according to a 2009 report by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Under pressure from legislators and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the UT regents in March 2008 approved a 4.95 percent cap on increases that took effect that fall.
Money generated from increasing tuition will provide the university about $17.2 million in 2010-11 and $18.1 million in 2010-11 after deducting the legally required set-aside for additional student financial aid.
But the committee's report said the tuition increase will not pay for faculty hiring or salary increases; tuition policy advisers said an 18 percent increase would be required for that.

Tuition "Time Bomb" Set to Explode
TCCTA Blog
Posted: 19 Jan 2010 05:30 AM PST
Since 2003, when the Legislature deregulated tuition at the state's universities by allowing boards of regents to set prices for each institution, tuition and fees at four-year state schools have increased by an average of 63 percent, from $1,934 per semester to $3,150, according to the most recent report. At some schools, such as Stephen F. Austin, Prairie View A&M, and Texas A&M Galveston, the cost of an education nearly doubled.
How does this affect community colleges? Obviously, when students can't afford to attend a university during the first portion of their academic careers, they enroll at the local two-year institution. So, even if economic recovery occurs over the next few years, enrollments at community colleges will likely remain high-assuming these schools can keep their own rates of tuition and fees within the reach of Texans who wish to go to college. By all accounts they are working mightily to keep those rates as low as possible.
According to a recent article by Brian Thevenot in the Texas Tribune, state leaders are worried that the increases will jeopardize any plans for progress in the state's entire system of higher education. The article calls the situation a "time bomb." One influential House member, Rep. Dan Branch (R-Dallas), is telling university leaders that they need to keep increases to a minimum. Some lawmakers, according to the article, are considering a return to state regulation of tuition. Others blame the state for cutting its share of the costs in the first place.
