Appointed by Perry, UT has yet to provide information on him. From 1990 to 1994, Mr. Estrada served on the Board of Directors for the Student Loan Marketing Association, the largest federally backed student loan provider. Sallie Mae is a corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress. It's on the cutting edge of privatization, wheeling and dealing in $72 billion in student loans and making a profit off struggling students. It seems Estrada might have a few friends that will make money off of increased fees and broke students at the University.

From October 1, 1997 until September 30, 2000, Mr. Estrada served a three-year term on the Board of Directors of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a self-regulatory organization which sets standards for the municipal securities industry. Mr. Estrada was designated Chairman of the MSRB during his third year on the Board. At the present time, he serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas.

Mr. Estrada is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Trinity River Authority of Texas and has served on the Policy Board of the Texas Department of Commerce. He was appointed by former Governor George W. Bush to Chair the Advisory Committee to the Governor for the selection of the Texas Quarter Dollar Coin Design that will be used by the U. S. Mint to produce the Texas Quarter Dollar in 2004.
