DEI firings at Texas schools send ripples through faculty, students

“Students are starting to text us upperclassmen saying, ‘Hey, I'm kind of scared to go to UT now. It sounds like they don't want people like me there because they don't have programs for me.

The Texas House has now passed its versions of #SB17 to ban DEI offices and programs at state universities and #SB18 to gut tenure for faculty. It's a dark day for higher ed down here.
Shtetl News: Scott Aaronson posted on the #Texas #SB18 , #SB17, #SB16 debacles a few days back. He mentions the figurative nuking of the *1st class University system* Texans took so much time & effort to build.
