with students, understanding student voices and bringing those perspectives into
the conversations that we
have as an administration
as we develop our course as
faculty, Burns-Wallace said.
Burns-Wallace said her
goal is to ensure every students success at the University.
Success means many
things: it means they are
coming back year after year,
it means they are graduating with the degree that they
came to the institution to
pursue [and] it means they
are engaging in the enrichment activities that we know
make an educational experience powerful.

Fourteen students spent their winter breaks in Ala. developing bamboo prototypes for a nonprofit.
and plans to come up with tactics to attract diverse professors and students to campus.
As far as Campus-Wide Strategic Framework, the University will host the fourth Annual
Diversity Symposium on April
12 and work on ensuring the
diversity initiatives presented
in the Bold Aspirations plan
are implemented.
After reading through details of the plan, students can
access an online form and
share their reactions with the
University. All comments are
confidential. Initial comments
for the Diversity Action Plan
are due Feb. 15.
Hummel said the office has
received some feedback since
the plan was posted last week.
Although most of the comments have been positive,
Hummel said, there has been
some concern the University
is not moving fast enough with
diversity initiatives. Hummel

fter
dropping
three straight Big
12 road games,
a win against the TCU
Horned Frogs by any margin wouldve taken a large
weight off the No. 7 Kansas
Jayhawks shoulders.
However, it wasnt just
any win.
The Jayhawks came
out and dominated the
TCU Horned Frogs in Fort
Worth, Texas. The team
rode performances from
sophomore guard Devonte Graham and senior
forward Perry Ellis in the
victory, which ended up
being a fairly significant
win, in terms of the race for
a 12th-consecutive Big 12
championship.
After all, following the
Jayhawks win, the No. 1
Oklahoma Sooners fell to
the Kansas State Wildcats.
The Sooners' loss gives the
Jayhawks a chance to get
back into first place with a
win on Tuesday.
Still, the task wont be
easy.
Theyll face off against a
No. 14 West Virginia Mountaineers team that already
holds a win over the Jayhawks this year. But taking
down Kansas at home is a
completely different monster.
The Jayhawks have lost
only three home games
since Feb. 11, 2007, going
148-3 in that stretch. However, there have been a few
games in that 148 that have

West Virginia heads to
Allen Fieldhouse in sole
possession of first-place of
the Big 12. The Mountaineers are led by junior forward Devin Williams, who
comes into the game with
a bit of momentum, after a
sort of midseason slump.
In his last three games,

averaging
around 15 points and 13
rebounds per game, posting two double-doubles,
his ninth and 10th of the
season. However, after a
