An 'Apology' to the Regents
RECEIVED Sun., Dec. 9, 2007
Dear Editor,
I am a resident in the Brackenridge Apartments, a division of the famous Brackenridge Tract that is not being utilized for its "highest and best use” [“UT's Brackenridge Tract,” News, Dec. 7]. Please allow me to utilize this venue to send an apology to the University of Texas Board of Regents.
Vice Chairman James Huffines indicated in another publication that the university has been generous in the past. As a resident, I apologize for encroaching upon the generosity of the Board of Regents.
As a resident, I realize that the Brackenridge Tract Task Force, composed of lawyers, UT administrators, and other professionals, kept the best interests of the students living in the apartments in consideration throughout the process of evaluating the "best use" of our homes. We must accept that the task force's decision that the value of the land exceeds the value of the people currently living on and using the land is a sound and appropriate decision.
We will not keep the Board of Regents from fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities to the University of Texas.
Again, my humblest of apologies for taking up valuable space.
