This thread is about the new Victoria,tx/Texas A&M campus, NOT College Station!!!

So Texas A&M has recently acquired UH-Victoria, and lo and behold look what we are about to do. Come on folks, do you actually expect a different result with this one? Victoria County and those who pay taxes here are quite red on the political scale. I doubt they want more woke kids running around, AND it's quite doubtful they want more white, straight, "normal" kids getting screwed over since the preference is ALWAYS gonna the other types.

DEI loving person is sole finalist

I don't get it. "I'm an Aggie, let me shoot myself in the foot." If DEI is in prominently in their work history, RED FLAGS SHOULD FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone has an in with Hegar or BOR, might be a good idea to hit them up.

It's real simple...the alumni and donors make very clear their disgust or woke will keep getting hired.

Bc the BOR is group of self important BMAs that think they do not wrong. They would have done jack diddly squat with Welsh if Brian Harrison, other media, and some students/former students hadn't caused an uproar.

Anyone see 60 Minutes last night. Pretty good segment on the fairly new University of Autin - UATX.

Well, TAMU-Victoria " is committed to become a premier Hispanic Serving Institution that prepares its students to become leaders regionally, nationally, and globally."

About - Texas A&M University-Victoria

By claiming to be "Hispanic Serving" aren't you excluding white Anglo Saxons like me? What would they say if the university began to get committed to become a premier White Serving Institution? It's rhetorical - they would say it's racist, because it is, as are all DEI initiatives and DEI adherents.

That looks more like Reddit SEO than a resume.

Next candidate please.

******s - which is a real word, with real uses, as are the medical terms "mentally ******ed" and "physically ******ed". Stop letting ******s control the language and arbitrarily ban words.

Texas A&M is just a very poorly run system. I'm not sure how it is this bad, but it continues to surprise.

Hispanic Serving Institution is just a school that has at least 25% hispanic students. It's a Federal Department of Education Term that unlocks funding through the Higher Education Act of 1965.

The only thing that being a Hispanic Serving institution is to have undergraduate enrollment latinos of 25 percent. That means that even tu is a Hispanic Serving institution. Texas has the second largest Hispanic Serving universities behind California, which makes sense.

No need for feeling slighted.

Texas A&M University - College Station is a Hispanic Serving Institution as well.

Those matters are not my perview, but could suggest a question. Since all (seem to) agree that you should not have Nazism principles being taught and pushed in college by instructore, there is scarcely such a Prof to be found, for even the fascist viewpont (again, this seems agree good) WHY is Marxism allowed? Simple question. Really simple. We fought world wars against both. The style of the Cold War was different, but it was one. Maybe even more expensive than WW II.

Just a question.

Would this gal not have a slam dunk lawsuit against them if they fabricated her work history?

That's a mighty short goal you're tending. Nothing personal of course.

I do feel slighted. It's also a white serving institution. Don't you see the issue? This counting of the numbers in each tribe is divisive. I

Evidently the A&M - College Station interim president has a background of DEI as well.

And why exactly do they do that?

CampSkunk
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The fact that counting numbers helps them qualify for federal funding is not the issue. They don't need to broadcast their counting in a manner that is exclusionary. Everything that bears the label DEI is tainted. Our institutions, especially those whose "management" is appointed by a supposedly conservative governor, need to move away from it.
