Every day students encounter them on campus. Walk along the quad, and you'll find statues that represent something significant or symbolic. However, Texas State students may realize a glaring omission -- there are no statues of WOMEN to be found. Bobcat Update's Victoria Vasquez tells us more in this report.
The statues on campus serve as a representation of perseverance, free expression and success. One can find statues of President Lyndon Johnson, a Texas State alumnus, the dueling stallions -- the university's free speech zone -- a veteran's memorial, a bobcat and a vaquero. But no women. Texas State English professor. Dr. Sarah Ramírez, says many women are deserving of such a tribute.

English Professor Dr. Geneva Gano says having a woman represented would really inspire students.

So far, there are no plans to install a female statue at Texas State. For Bobcat Update, I'm Victoria Vasquez.
