Dear Dr. Dani:
On behalf of the entire Texas Tech System family, I would like to express our profound sympathies to you over the tragic loss of life and injuries resulting from the inhumane and senseless terrorist acts in Mumbai. We all greatly regret each and every life lost to these brutal terrorists, and join the rest of the civilized world in condemning this outrage. I would greatly appreciate you passing on our feelings to the members of your community. All of our thoughts and prayers are with our Indian colleagues, your families, and your country at this tragic time.
Yours very truly,
Kent R. Hance
Chancellor
