And now the blowback:

Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III:

I learned this afternoon that key leaders in the College of Arts and Sciences approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description. As a result, I directed the provost to remove the dean and department head from their administrative positions, effective immediately. Our students use the published information in the course catalog to make important decisions about the courses they take in pursuit of their degrees. If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down. When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.

The President’s statement was pathetic.

I guess the university forgot to mention that training on how perverts groom kids was not in the curriculum.

The university president needs to be fired.

It sounds like a lot more university folks need to be gone as well.

good for texass. + they will have to be tested to get a job in neighboring Oklahoma, so good for the okies.

excerpt:

The survey interviewed nearly 4,000 faculty across the southern U.S., including more than 1,100 from Texas. About a quarter of the Texas professors said they have applied for higher education jobs in other states in the last two years, and more than 25% said they soon intend to start searching for out-of-state positions. Of those who aren’t thinking of leaving, more than one-fifth said they don’t plan to stay in higher education in the long-term.

Not enough, remove them from the payroll.

Thanks for the link. The way I read the article is President Welch got a talking to by Chancellor Hegar. Hegar is in charge of the A&M system. Hegar’s X post came out at 7 PM while Welch changed his tune at 10 PM ..
