Elsa Murano is one of the most popular and richest Academic who was born on August 14, 1959 in Havana, Cuba. Murano was born Elsa Alina Casales in 1959 in Havana, Cuba. Murano fled Cuba together with their family members in the summer of after her parents made the decision to move out in the midst of Fidel Castro’s revolution in the communist movement. The family moved to Curacao and later relocated to Colombia in which her father worked at IBM. Then she moved to Peru and later El Salvador before moving to Puerto Rico to start kindergarten. After her parents divorced, Murano moved together with her mom and her three brothers to an apartment located in Miami, Florida in 1973. Even though Murano was not fluent in English at the time of her arrival she was enrolled at Miami Coral Park High School. Murano’s mother who was an security guard as well as a counter clerk at a department store, advised her children to finish high school and go to college. The year 1977 was the time Murano was able to graduate from high school and began her studies at Miami Dade College, a nearby junior college. In the following two years, she attended Miami-Dade Murano moved into Florida International University, relying on scholarships and loans to pay for tuition. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology at FIU at the end of 1981. Although she had plans to attend the medical college, she became attracted to research and decided to broaden her education. She went to Virginia Tech to receive her master’s degree in microbiology anaerobic in 1987. Then she received her doctorate in technology and food science in the year 1990.
The evidence is undisputed The facts are undisputed: On June 1, 2008 I wrote to the General an offer letter as a beginning step in the process of negotiating employment that culminates in the approval of the Chancellor as well as the Board of Regents to hire an individual to fill this level of job. In response to concerns raised by students’ leaders regarding their desire to have more direct input into the process, including having a meeting with General Weber and the General, I decided to rescind the offer, and requested General Weber to meet with students leaders. It is enough to contact General Weber, a decorated veteran of the military, to confirm that during the 21st day of July in 2008, I presented him a copy of the initial offer letter informing him that I had halted any actions, even soliciting approval from the Board of Regents to appoint his successor at between July 31 and August 1 2008 meeting. I quickly arranged for him to meet with the student leaders and later, I went to them to hear their views regarding his character and skills. Based on their direct feedback I recommenced the process of appointing general Weber as our new Vice President for Student Affairs and was given unanimous approval from the Board of Regents on August 15th, 2008.
An independent student paper, The Anthem, alleged in its March 2009 issue that Dr. Murano lied to the student body and student body president in the replacement of Vice President of Student Affairs, Dean Bresciani, who had served the university since 2004. The article stated that a formal letter offering the position of VP of Student Affairs was sent to Joseph F. Weber, on July 1, 2008, prior to receiving input from “student focus groups.” However, in an open letter to the Texas A&M community on March 5, 2009, Murano addressed and attempted to refute the article’s claims, stating that though Weber was initially offered a position, it was later rescinded (or “put on hold” according to the July 21 memo) in lieu of concerns by student leaders wishing to have more input. However, members of the university committee questioned the legitimacy of the memorandumo’s authenticity. After a meeting between Weber and student leaders, Murano “re-extended the offer”; despite student leaders’ written request to hold Weber’s appointment and to conduct a national search to include more than one candidate. Furthermore, no documents have been provided to support Murano’s claim that she rescinded Weber’s appointment, especially a document re-extending Weber’s hiring offer after July 21. Murano wrote in the open letter:
Starting with the incoming freshman in the fall of 2008, Murano retroactively eliminated tuition for A&M students whose parents earn less than $60,000 annually. Some have voiced criticism for this action, citing that a student’s ability to pay for tuition is not necessarily dependent on the financial situation of his or her parents.
in 2001 U.S. president George W. Bush appointed Murano as the Under Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety for the U.S. Department of Agriculture which is the highest-ranking food security U.S. government official. As the under secretary she was responsible for Food Safety and Inspection Service policies, which ensured that U.S. meat products are nutritious, safe and properly packed. Through the years of her role, she supervised significant reductions in the amount of recalls for food. Food recalls, that had been increasing since the mid-1990s dropped from the 113 recalls in 2002 to just 50 in 2004. She was the deputy secretary until her resignation in November 2004 to be able to return in Texas A&M.

As you may have read in “The Battalion” or in other local news reports this week, allegations have been made regarding the hiring of Texas A&M University’s Vice President for Student Affairs, Lt. General Joe Weber ’72, USMC (Ret.). Specifically, the veracity of my statements in July 2008 has been called into question regarding my desire to honestly seek student input in the filling of this vacancy. I am dismayed by the complete disregard of the value of respect in making such allegations without first providing anyone who was involved in the process, particularly me as President of this great university, the opportunity to state what actually happened during the hiring process.

In her first-year evaluation made in February 2009 (available here), Murano received much criticism from A&M System Chancellor Mike McKinney, who conducted the entire assessment. Murano was evaluated on 40 different categories, each rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with a rating of “1” being poor and a “5” meaning “excellent” performance. Murano averaged a 2.7 rating in all 40 categories; she did not receive any 5s. The categories she got a “1” in include “follows through”, “acting decisively and timely”, “team player”. She earned a “2” in “honesty and integrity”. On the other hand, she was commended for the new scholarship program implemented for low-income students, her management in dealing with Hurricane Ike, as well as her contributions to the school’s academic master plan. Murano wrote out a 30-page rebuttal of the evaluation, indicating that she disagreed with the results. Douglas Slack, a former speaker for the A&M faculty senate, expressed his shock by the nature of the assessment, and noted that the evaluation looked like it was “hastily done” and described it as a contrast to Murano’s “well thought-out response”.
