The once venerable, and semi woke, Texas A&M University System has announced a revised policy...Once venerable? Semi woke?
Umm, okay... but Texas A&M had no choice.
The university was threatened with prosecution by governor Abbott (in a letter from Abbott's chief of staff, Gardner Pate) who warned state agency and public university leaders in February that the use of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is illegal. And state Rep. Carl Tepper filed a bill prohibiting state funding toward 'any office of diversity, equity, and inclusion,' or an office that supports DEI goals.
Pate said in his letter that DEI policies illegally discriminate against certain demographic groups but did not name those groups.
Any guesses?
