‘From Here, It’s Possible.’

That Texas Tech motto rings true for Robert Duncan, a Red Raider alumnus that found himself back working at his alma mater more than 30 years after graduating. He now serves as chancellor of the Texas Tech University System and recently celebrated his fourth anniversary. The Daily Toreador sat down with Duncan to reflect on his time as chancellor and what plans are in the works for the Tech System.

With

Chancellor Robert Duncan

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

Q A

You’ve been here four years.

What has it been like, those four years for you?

Four years have gone by very quickly. It seems like just yesterday we started all this with this program. It was very exciting then and it’s still very exciting now.

There have been a lot of things. A lot of things have happened at Texas Tech in the last four years — a lot of just natural growth, a lot of also, we’ve had I think a very successful

philanthropic activity. Our athletics have really grown, and I think done very well, thanks to Kirby (Hocutt), coaching staff and great student athletes that we have.

This is a really good time to be at Texas Tech. The last four years for me have been really exhilarating, fun, exciting and challenging.

Q A

What have been some of the highlights and challenges for you in the four years you’ve been chancellor?

I think the highlights would be some of the successes we’ve had in philanthropy, raising funds for things. Not any one person raises all the money around here.

Our athletic director, his team, does a great job. We’ve done some good things in visual and performing arts. We’ve done some things around the campus with new ideas, new initiatives. I think the dental school and vet school initiatives are really exciting things that we’re working on. You look back on it,

those are big impactful ideas that we believe can be successful and I think it really does do what we’re supposed to do, and that’s kind of solve problems and meet the needs of this region of the country. We’re excited about those projects.

Q A

Has there been anything that stands out as the biggest challenge or hardship for you?

Anytime you’re running a $2 billion organization, I think the number one challenge is to make sure you have the resources to operate and to excel. That’s one of the major roles of the chancellor’s office and the system is to be able to manage that aspect of it. The state of Texas gives, we get our appropriations from there, and it’s very core what they do, but it’s only about 23 percent of what we do.

So, there’s other sources of funds that we have to manage.

We have to make wise decisions as it relates to tuition and the rate of tuition that we charge because we know that’s a significant burden

on students as the cost of education goes up in their back pocket. We try to manage all those things and balance them. Philanthropy’s a very important part of that.

The opportunity for students to have scholarships through our endowments is very significant. The opportunity for our faculty to have research grants and endowments to support what they do and their discipline and program as well.

Q

You were a student at Texas Tech, then you went and had a law career, had a career in politics. What was it like for you to make that transition, not only back to your alma mater but into higher education again?

A

Well higher education is kind of politics. There’s a lot of that involved in it. But it’s a different transition. It’s a fast pace, there are decisions that have to be made and I think the key at any job like that is you’ve got to make decisions.

You don’t always know you’re right,

but you’ve got to make decisions.

Fortunately, we have a very good team over here to help do that and different processes that we have to make decisions and I think one of the things we’ve really tried to do is refine those types of processes.

How do you go about running and operating a philanthropic organization, what do you do as it relates to the projects that are under construction. What are your processes for getting those designed and approved. Things like that that we think are very important for proper management.

We’ve spent a lot of time in the last four years making sure as a matured system, we’ve only been around a little over 20 years, so as the system has matured, it’s been very important for us to build in the types of processes that go along with a very sophisticated operation, which we are. We’re a $2 billion organization, so that requires a lot of very careful management.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Cyprien added to Red Raider coaching staff for upcoming season

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

Chris Beard, head men’s basketball coach, announced on Monday that coach Glynn Cyprien will join the Texas Tech coaching staff for the upcoming season as an assistant coach.

Cyprien most recently spent a season as the head coach of the NBA G League team the Memphis Hustle after spending a year as head coach of the Iowa Energy, another NBA G League team, according to a Tech Athletics release.

“I was very fortunate to have worked in the NBA with the Mem-

phis Grizzlies organization during the last four seasons especially as head coach of the Memphis Hustle last year,” Cyprien said in the release. “There are few jobs I would leave there for, but when Coach Beard approached me about coming to Texas Tech it was a unique opportunity that I could not pass up.”

Prior to his stint in the NBA as a coach and executive with the Memphis Grizzlies, Cyprien spent more than 25 seasons as a coach at the collegiate level with 11 different teams. During that time, he served as an assistant coach, associate head coach and recruiter. Cyprien most recently spent time at the college level

with Texas A&M as an associate head coach before leaving for the NBA. Cyprien has experience with the Big 12 Conference, having spent four years as a member of Oklahoma State’s staff from 2000-04, according to the release.

Changzhi Li named Outstanding Young Engineer Changzhi Li was named a 2018 Outstanding Young Engineer by the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, which is part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Li, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received a $1,500 cash reward, certificate and plaque from the society as part of the award, according to the society’s website.

“It’s an honor to win this

award,” Li said in a Texas Tech news release.

“MTT-S is one of the largest societies under IEEE, which LI is the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology. It’s an award to remind me I did something in the past. I think there’s a long path ahead of me and a lot of things to do in the future.”

The award recognizes a member of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society that distinguishes themselves through their work and involvement with the group, according to the society’s website. It focuses on a person as a whole, not just their body of work.

Nominees for the award are judged on technical contributions to the engineering field as well as service to the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, according

Weinstein’s lawyer says emails, witnesses show he’s innocent

email traffic. And the suggestion that Mr. Weinstein raped anyone, just based on what I’ve seen, just based on the evidence I’ve seen, is just a preposterous allegation,” Brafman said. “So far, everything he has told us to look for we have found.

And his denials are in my judgment being confirmed everyday by a lot of evidence we are finding that is independent of Mr. Weinstein.”

A judge released Weinstein on the same $1 million bail he posted at his first arraignment involving two other accusers and was allowed to return to his Westport, Connecticut home.

He’s due back in court on Sept. 20.

Brafman said he expects more criminal charges to be filed later, but didn’t elaborate.

Weinstein previously forfeited his passport and is fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet. He’s also been ordered to stay away from the three women.

Prosecutors, saying the new charges were “significantly more serious,” had sought to have Weinstein forced to move to Manhattan and placed on house arrest.

Li said in the release. “I have more than 200 publications, a lot of which were published under the journals or conferences of MTT-S. I also served as an associate editor for one of the journals sponsored by MTT-S, co-chaired the technical program of the 2018 International Microwave Biomedical Conference and served as chairman of an educational subcommittee for graduate fellowship awards.”

The award highlights Li’s work and experience as an

engineer, Al Sacco Jr., dean of the Edward E. Whitacre College of Engineering, said in the release.

“Changzhi is yet another example of the outstanding faculty here at Texas Tech, impacting our world through their scientific inquiry and discovery,” Sacco said in the release. “Changzhi is well deserving of this award, and we in the Whitacre College of Engineering could not be more proud of him.” @McKenziMorrisDT

NEW YORK (AP) — Moving beyond rote denials, Harvey Weinstein is playing a leading role in shaping what his lawyer said Monday will be an aggressive defense to sexual assault charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life.

Lawyer Ben Brafman said the movie mogulturned-#MeToo villain is essentially working as his paralegal and that they’re stacking up “overwhelming evidence” from email traffic and witness accounts to refute allegations that, so far, have led to criminal charges involving three of the dozens of women who’ve accused Weinstein of wrongdoing.

“I can tell you that we are no longer simply relying on Mr. Weinstein’s denials,” Brafman said outside a New York City courthouse after Weinstein pleaded not guilty to new charges alleging he performed a forcible sex act on a woman in 2006.

“We have corroborative evidence in the form of witnesses, we have corroborative evidence, overwhelming evidence, in the form of

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Amid jubilation, 4 more boys rescued from flooded Thai cave MAE SAI, Thailand (AP) — The generals and other officials overseeing the desperate operation to rescue 12 young soccer players and their coach from a flooded cave labyrinth in Thailand’s sweltering far north were only half joking when they quipped Monday that success was in the hands of the rain god Phra Pirun.

They were celebrating a second day of stunning triumph after divers guided four more boys Monday through tight passages and dank flooded caverns to safety. “Two days, eight Boars,” read a Facebook post by the Thai Navy SEALS of the dramatic rescue that began Sunday, more than two weeks after the members of the Wild Boars soccer team were trapped. Another five still await rescue, including the team’s 25-year old coach.

The eight rescued boys were recuperating in a hospital from their ordeal hud-

dled together on a tiny patch of higher ground where they had sought refuge after a rainstorm flooded the massive Tham Luan Nang Non cave complex as they were exploring it after soccer practice on June 23. Their families were being kept at a distance because of fears of infection and the emaciatedlooking boys were eating a rice-based porridge because they were still too weak to take regular food, authorities said.

Officials lavished praise on the Thai and international divers who, in pairs of two, executed the dangerous rescue mission, guiding the boys, who could barely swim and had no diving experience, through a treacherous 4-kilometer-long (2 1/2-mile) escape route that twisted and turned through the cavern. Highlighting the extreme dangers, a former Thai Navy SEAL died Friday while replenishing the oxygen canisters laid

along the route to the boys’ damp refuge.

But the chances of monsoon rains sending torrents of water into the caves and making the rescue effort too risky is never far from the minds of everyone involved in the operation.

Alluding to that worry, the regional army commander offered his thanks Monday to the rain god Phra Pirun, imploring him to “keep showing us mercy.”

“Give us three more days and the Boars will come out to see the world, every one of them,” Maj-Gen. Bancha Duriyapan told a news conference punctuated by applause from the dozens of Thai and foreign journalists and others in attendance.

“I beg Phra Pirun because the Meteorological Department said that from Monday on there will be continuous rain,” Bancha said. “If I ask too much, he might not provide it. So I’ve been asking for three days.”

The plight of the boys, aged 11-16, and their coach, has riveted Thailand and much of the world — from the heart-sinking news they were trapped to the first flickering video of the huddle of anxious yet smiling boys brought back by the pair of British divers who found them after penetrating deep into the sprawling cave.

Then came the letters carried out by the teams of divers who took oxygen, food and medicine to the boys’ refuge as experts pondered whether to dive them out or provision them for months while the monsoon season continues until at least late October.

Writing in elegant Thai script, the boys urged their parents not to worry, adding that they hoped they wouldn’t get too much homework after being rescued and couldn’t wait to eat their favorite foods again.

Their friends were full of optimism — and worry.

Chancellor

Robert L. Duncan’s Texas tech

top five We asked the chancellor five of his favorite things about Texas Tech from his time as a student, parent and chancellor.

Here are his answers:

Tradition

“You know, I love the horse. When you bring in people like congressmen or big donors, you take them out on the field to watch the horse run. It’s the most exciting thing they’ve done in a long time.”

Q&A

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Q

During your time as an undergraduate student and a law student at Tech, did you ever see yourself sitting behind the chancellor’s desk?

A

Not in my wildest dreams.

When we say, “From here, it’s possible,” that really does apply to me. Because that was not in my plan or in my dream, but life has a plan b. Plan b was a very good plan for me. When I graduated from Texas Tech, I wanted to go and be a farmer basically. I loved agriculture, I loved growing crops, I loved that sort of a life.

But when I graduated, the ag economy was in the dumps and dad said “you better come up with plan b.”

So, law school was plan b.

That just led to opportunities with a law firm that I worked in for over 35 years, and then the political opportunities.

And then this job which was kind of a natural (fit) for my political experience working on higher ed committee and then chairing the working group for higher ed finance.

It kind of all worked out together and sometimes God has a plan for you and he had a great plan for me. I sure have

Place on campus

Postseason moment

Time as a student

Moment

“I like the area when you’re standing there by the Preston Smith statue and you look through those arches down the Engineering Key. It’s just a unique place.”

“Well, I love baseball. I love basketball, I love them all. But I enjoy it when our baseball team gets out there and competes against all odds. I really am excited about that reputation.”

“Serving as student body president was a lot of fun. It allowed me to grow and work with the president of the university, work with the vice president of student affairs which was Robert Ewalt.”

“I think the moment I found out I was going to be chancellor ... This is something I really wanted to do, and that moment was a really exciting moment for me.”

benefited from that plan. It’s been an exhilarating career here in the last four years.

(Texas Tech) has just been part of our life, a very important part of it. I feel very invested in this institution and in the faculty and students and I just love it very much.

Q

Recently, Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp published a letter saying there only needs to be one vet school in Texas. Why do you think it’s important for the system to continue to push the need for another vet school?

A

Texas is a state that’s growing and right now we’re over 28 million people. Texas A&M has a class of I think 132 and they’re going to 162 per year. Texas, right now, issues nearly 500 new licenses per year. So, you can just do the math. There’s not enough veterinarians and many of those veterinarians

are going into urban, small animal type of practices or family animal practices.

So out here, if you look at it, I don’t think anyone can really disagree that there’s a shortage, with a straight face, really disagree that there’s a shortage of veterinarians that serve agriculture communities and the livestock industry. Feds understand that real well.

The USDA is very interested in what we’re trying to do because they have a shortage of veterinarians that work in the packing plants and in the food animal health industry.

If you look around and talk to people in their smaller communities, you know that there is a shortage of vets.

Out here, we are in the epicenter, especially in Amarillo, is the epicenter of food animal production. With the feed lots and the dairies that have migrated into Texas and eastern New Mexico in the last 20 years, we’re sitting right on top of where all that is.

The closest vet school is not Texas A&M, it’s Oklahoma State. Then you’ve got Kansas State and Colorado State are all closer to Amarillo than College Station. What we believe we can do, better than anybody else, is we can create a new program, design it for the purpose of being able to

recruit the types of students and train the types of students that will be successful in these practices that serve agriculture communities and the livestock industry.

I want people when they see the Double T in Costa Rica, or in Dallas, or in Washington D.C. or in Seattle, Washington that they have a good feeling about this institution and about the quality of students and the quality of education we’re providing.

We also believe that that industry needs ongoing support. A School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo not only will provide the veterinarians to populate and mature in those areas, but also will provide the support that those professionals need once they’re out in the practice

Q

You’ve spent four years as chancellor now. If you could look forward four years, where would you want to see the Tech System?

A

I’d like to see us win a national championship in football, men and women’s basketball, baseball.

Those things really are important. Our athletic programs really are doing well and I’m really proud of that.

I would like to see us to continue to grow in our national stature. Right now, people see Texas Tech and they really do believe that we have a quality program.

I want to enhance that. I want people when they see the Double T in Costa Rica, or in Dallas, or in Washington D.C. or in Seattle, Washington that they have a good feeling about this institution and about the quality of students and the quality of education we’re providing. All of these expansions and all the philanthropic efforts that we have are really designed to try to grow that national reputation and status.

Q

You graduated from Tech and law school here. Your kids have gone here. It’s really big part of your life.

You’ve had family members on the Board of Regents.

What does Texas Tech mean to your family as a whole?

A

It is our family. My mom and dad met here. My uncle went here, he was older than my mother. We’ve all benefited from what Texas Tech has provided us — a great education. It’s a great family tradition to watch Texas Tech sports.

We love this place. It’s helped all of us. “From here, it’s possible” really applies to each one of our family members. Our children are really doing very well as a result of the education they got here. I say the education, I mean the culture here makes you grow up and gives you good values and I think that’s part of what the Texas Tech experience is all about. @McKenziMorrisDT

10 Red Raiders going pro, 1 staying at Tech After a trip to the College World Series to end the 2018 season, the Texas Tech baseball team is losing several familiar faces to professional ball.

Of the 11 Red Raiders selected in the 2018 MLB First-Year Player Draft, 10 have decided to leave Lubbock. The only player staying at Tech for another season is right-handed pitcher Caleb Kilian.

Kilian will return for his junior season after being selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 20th round with the 595th overall pick.

The sophomore posted a 9-3 record in 2018, including a loss to Florida in the College World Series that ended the

COACH

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 While at OSU, Cyprien helped the Cowboys to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances, along with a Final Four appearance in ‘04. Cyprien helped coach the team to a 96-33 overall record across four seasons.

Cyprien’s talents include being a highly-touted recruiter with experience in helping re-

cruit and develop former NBA players such as Tony Allen, Will Barton, Patrick Beverley, DeAndre Liggins, Shawn Marion, Jodie Meeks, Khris Middleton and Patrick Patterson, according to the release.

In 2009, Cyprien helped Memphis pull in the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, and in 2010 Cyprien was named one of college basketball’s “hoops recruiters extraordinaire” by Yahoo! Sports national writer Jason King.

it even further.”

With Tech graduating five seniors, including three fulltime starters, the pressure will be on Beard and his staff to find new talent moving forward, with guard Jarrett Culver and center Norense Odiase the only returning starters from last season’s Elite Eight team. With former Tech freshman Zhaire Smith getting selected in the middle of the first round, Tech’s coaches will look to add more NBA-hopeful talent that wish to follow in Smith’s footsteps. @AustinWattsDT

“To be able to work with an exceptional coach and recruiter like Coach Beard who I have watched excel at every level was a real drawing card,” Cyprien said, in the release. “To be able to work at a university that is committed to winning from the top down beginning with Kirby Hocutt sealed the deal. We have a great staff in place of hardworking guys with great experience that I am looking forward to working with daily. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of continuing the foundation of success that was laid last year and taking

Red Raiders’ season.

After his first two years at Tech, Kilian has a career ERA of 3.34 from his 110.1 innings pitched, according to Tech Athletics. He threw almost double the amount of innings in his second season than his freshman year but had only one more appearance as a sophomore.

Of all his teammates that were drafted, Kilian is the only pitcher staying at Tech for another season. Of the 10 Red Raiders that signed with MLB organizations, six were pitchers.

The ten Red Raiders leaving Tech for the pros are sophomore Grant Little; juniors Steven Gingery, Ryan Shetter, Davis Martin, Ty

ONEIDA, Wis. (AP) — Sei Young Kim watched her 12-foot birdie putt break toward the hole and disappear into the cup, putting her in territory no one had ever been on the LPGA Tour.

She reached 30-under par in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic.

And she wasn’t finished.

Kim added yet another birdie, closed with a 7-under 65 and wound up her historic week Sunday in Wisconsin at 31 under for a nine-shot victory.

“I never thought I’d shoot 31 under,” Kim said. “I re-

She was every bit of that in a week so dominant that she now has two LPGA scoring records all to herself.

Kim’s 31 under broke the record she had shared with Annika Sorenstam. Kim won the 2016 Founders Cup at 27 under, while Sorenstam won the 2001 Standard Register Ping at 27 under, the tournament where the Swede shot 59.

“After the Founders Cup, I got new goals,” she said. “I wish I could break up the (tour) record. It’s really unbelievable.”

PLANO (AP) — Dallas Cowboys cornerback Marquez White has been indicted on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in what he described as a road-rage incident in suburban Dallas.

The 23-year-old White said in a statement to his hometown newspaper, the Dothan Eagle in Alabama, that a motorist became angry with White as he drove home in October. White says he pulled a handgun when the motorist appeared to be reaching for his own. He says the other driver followed him home and yelled racial slurs at him.

White, who is black, was indicted by a Collin County grand jury in early June and arrested June 15. He later posted bond and was released.
