If it is this bad in Texas, imagine how bad it is in blue states.
If true, then the entire current leadership should resign.
This needs a legislative remedy. Texas Republicans in the legislature: are you awake?
Colleges continue to exist because naive’ alumni fund them.
It’s quite a racket.
University admin are without exception, leftist. If there is “systemic racism” it is the policy of leftard academics.

The faculty should wear Maoist during caps and be paraded in the football stadium for their sins of racism.
Then people will feel much better.
I’m in “battle” with Texas A&M on this issue right now. My son was denied admission even with having a very high SAT and GPA. But because he went to a private Christian High School, they wiggled out of the auto admit law. They pulled every trick they could to keep private school kids out this latest round. I’m sure it involves “DEI” with the assumption that the students of such are conservative (correct) and mostly white (false in my son’s school). An org is involved. It’s going to be ugly.
DEIs are the new commissars. Evil apparatchiks.
What does that mean?!
Sorry to hear this about A&M. I would expect this from the tea sippers in Austin but not the Aggies.
I expected better.
A&M used to be a GREAT engineering school, especially the nuclear engineering department.
So, I guess that we will have to start planning to add A&M to the list of (so called) universities we will NOT be hiring STEM folks from.
Bye bye Texas A&M. The list is getting very long. A&M will make the number 19.
I am inclined to think that TPTB are getting pressured to ‘diversify’ their student body. While TAMU offers a good spectrum of degree plans the school is often viewed as a STEM oriented place. That viewpoint probably discourages those who want a ‘studies-style’ degree or something less arduous than STEM.
And then there is the issue of TAMU having a good number of set-asides for non-white kids but are unable to fill those slots. Many POC simply don’t show up for the reduced qualification slots offered by TAMU. This has been happening on and off for years. TPTB are probably getting hammered about this. It’s like offering Bud Light for free but nobody grabs one. So what are TPTB going to do? They can’t drag kids off the street to fill the quotas.
Too bad that they went to wokeness and DIE.
America is finished. Barring divine intervention which I do not expect.
The old, unwritten understanding was that the University of Texas system would be liberal, but that the Texas A&M system would be conservative. It appears that the Left has taken over Texas A&M. This takeover illustrates the observation that any institution that is not specifically conservative (secular or religious) will be eventually taken over by liberals.
The students need to take the A&M back.
Yeah, walk away fro m the school or have a massive protest day after day. shut the place down until they resign.
And where is the so called conservative Governor of Texas and the legislature?
Threaten the football team. It’s the only thing most people down there seem to care about anyway. Quit watching them so their TV ratings go down. Quit buying their overpriced gear that’s probably made in China. Quit purchasing tickets. Give them the Bud Lite treatment and they’ll probably come around. I know, I know “But they’re muh team and it’s a religion down here.” Get a better religion, I heard Christianity or Judaism is pretty solid.
