Flag remains at half-mast in remembrance of professor The TCU flag remains at half-mast today in remembrance of Emeritus Associate Professor Frances K. Richardson of the nursing department in the College of Health and Human Sciences, said Mary Nell Kirk, executive assistant to the chancellor. Richardson died early Wednesday morning at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, said Susan Moore, administrative assistant in the College of Health and Human Sciences. Richardson is believed to have died of a heart attack as a result of complications from a previous surgery, said Louann Boles, assistant to the dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. There will be no services, she said. Richardson was born Jan. 24, 1924 and began working at TCU in 1972 and retired in 1993. She died at the age of 78. Moore said Richardson continued to come by and visit the nursing staff whenever she was on campus even after her retirement. — Kelly Maria Howard Use of standardized tests appropriate for U. Texas (U-WIRE) DALLAS — A task force created to evaluate the University of Texas-Austin’s freshman admissions process has given it a thumbs up, officials said Tuesday. UT President Larry Faulkner created the Task Force on Standardized College Admissions Testing in 2001 to evaluate the way the University admits students and the role standardized tests play in the process. Until 1997 admissions at the University were based almost entirely on a student’s high school class rank and standardized test scores. But in that year the University implemented a more holistic process for those not automatically admitted under the Top 10 percent Law, adding the difficulty level of a student’s high school courses, resumes and essays to the admissions mix. — The Daily Texan |
