More Republican stupidity, hate. In the wake of the Supreme Court gutting Affirmative Action, Texas passed a law to dismantle any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offices and activities in Texas state colleges, effective next year, but Governor Abbott made it immediate. Great, well universities don’t need state laws to tell them how to continue valid hiring practices that are better for the schools, better for students, and better for the reputation of the institution. Oh wait. Texas A&M University is now embroiled in a scandal over just that. You see, they made this big promotion about luring Former New York Times editor and tenured journalism professor at UT Austin to come revitalize their Journalism program. They made her an offer, which she accepted. Then this DEI nonsense dropped, they rescinded the offer, but have her a new one without tenure. Then they pulled that offer, and gave her one for a limited contract that could be terminated at any time. Note that this has gone public, there’s an investigation into the whole situation, and the A&M President immediately resigned. > **[Texas A&M University president resigns following controversy over failed...](https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/22/us/texas-am-university-president-resigns/index.html)** > > Texas A&M University president M. Katherine Banks resigned Thursday amid controversy over the school’s failed attempt to hire a new professor to lead its journalism program. Sadly, this nonsense isn’t limited to Texas, as other states are working on similar legislation. ---
