Cry more professor

But we have already lead lives of consequence.

There is a good message in some of that diatribe, other parts of it I disagree with vehemently, but this type of thing is just ridiculous egocentric language to me.

I thought we did away tenure? Did that not happen?

Tenured faculty appeals to students amidst growing concerns of political pandering at Texas A&M in open letter to student body

Operative words in bold. They all think they are MC Hammer. Can't be touched.

Try to read it without rolling your eyes. Try to have empathy with where many professors and researchers are at right now. Understand their importance for our school academically. Now, when I say try to have empathy, that doesn't mean you need to show sympathy or agree with them, but try to see their perspective and how it could impact our state university that we all love so much.

***lol at this getting moved to F16. Comments in response will be wild***

I would have some empathy if the poon identified themselves instead he cries to the Batt and does it without having any courage. Also his/her security? Is she/he afraid a liberal will shoot him?

Fixed for assuming the poon's gender.

empathy? Seriously? No. The left is celebrating his death like it's Christmas morning, and they wish the same for the rest of us. They are realizing that actions have consequences and are trying to back peddle.

ETA: the left ****ed around, and are now at the "find out" stage

Username checks out.

Anonymous *****

Leftist hiding in the dark asking children to do his bidding.

Why can't they just do their job?

Was the letter written in chalk?

What a crock of ***** Comepletely twisting it around to paint the instigators as victims.

Professors who teach the curriculum and prepare students for the workd have no reason to fear for their jobs. Those who focus on indoctrination and choose party over their employer, over their jobs, and over their country cannot demand TAMU provide them an audience and platform.

stopped reading at anonymous

" This is a precarious moment in A&M's history. Your education will change that much is certain. The only question is whether it changes at the hands of outside forces, or because you choose to be the agent of change."

This tenured professor is overly dramatic and does not know how to present a logical argument.

This is a letter of panic from a member of the formerly insulated academic elite. They are losing quickly and they know it.

Crush them.

What a dramatic bunch of garbage. Stuff like that provides insight into why these people ended up in academia vs the real world. They'd never make it

Sapper Ag write that?

That letter maybe the most pathetic woe as me I've ever read. Either grow a pair professor or gtfo. We don't need your weak ass attempt at victimhood at this university. We are numb to it.

Oh no, he'll have to teach based on objective fact instead of ideological hooie. Oh no, how will our society survive. /s

This person doesn't even believe in his/her values enough to sign their name to this statement. If you believe what you are teaching is righteous, then put your name behind it coward.

Where was it originally?

Quote:

Like most faculty, I am not originally from Texas. I received my collegiate and advanced degrees in other states and had the honor of working at other strong institutions before joining A&M. Accepting this job was not an easy decision at the time. I knew little about Texas or about you and I was not sure if I would belong. Your traditions, terminology, and spirit were unfamiliar, and even "Howdy" tripped across my tongue at first. But you began to win me over the day you lined up to introduce yourselves after my first lecture, and again on the first day of every class that followed. I have deep admiration for the way you pursue excellence, leadership, and selfless service, grounded in loyalty, respect, and integrity. Because of you, I know I can make my greatest contributions as an educator here, and you are the reason I intend to serve the remainder of my career at Texas A&M University.

But I may have no choice but to leave. Continuing to serve you and to serve society through you now carries real risks to my career, my reputation, and my security. Worse still, outside actors may be willing to put you in harm's way if that is what it takes to drive me out.

Obviously not a STEM Professor if words are tripping across their tongue.

I don't think we're going to miss a self-centered "Studies" Professor.

What is it that you're saying that you're afraid to have recorded?

Heck, my father was using hand held voice recorders in the early 1980s for making notes on construction projects.

I myself have taught adults in the era of recording devices and if I know I'm being recorded, all that would really do is cause me to NOT tell some of the off-color stories that I've used this Forum to re-tell.

If I was teaching young Aggies, they're probably not going to get the story about the guitar player who was "sober" except for doing rails of Coke. But that story never belonged in a classroom anyway unless it was Music History.

Any of the actual on the job related anecdotes that I'd tell - including how insufferable T people are to work with, I would still re-tell because students need to know. But, I just might be a little more vague in how I described that category of people. Assuming I was teaching an Organizational Behavior class.

What am I missing here?

Oh no a spoiled progressive prof may not get his/her way better consider the whole school deleted

Quit hiring liberal professors.

Quit hiring liberal presidents.

Coward couldn't even put his name on it.

I don't know where I stand on this particular issue. I'm pro free speech, but something has to be done about indoctrination. That's what it is. It's designed indoctrination and I don't think the founders were able to contemplate this.

That said, they can say whatever they want out of the classroom, but I don't see a need for intensive transgender philosophy in an irrelevant class. Let the liberal arts college have a few classes on the subject and make it an elective. Nobody needs to learn about this tripe…it serves no purpose in the real world, it's degenerate and it's indoctrination.

Without an administration willing to defend academic integrity against political pressure, your education will change.

The students that exposed the English 360 are to be commended and are the agents of change.

This anonymous professor, LOL, claiming academic integrity when their sole goal is to indoctrinate is pure gaslighting.

Fire all Marxist (and DEI putz) professors, and kick them out of academia please.

And make those whiney profs adhere to the course descriptions.

Show your face coward.

In my time at A&M, I had one prof for a small seminar course in Poli Sci. Remember I was at A&M very shortly after the end of Vietnam. Teacher was clearly former military, also kind of messed up in the head a bit. Not that I knew about PTSD back then but I felt sorry for him because he was clearly struggling with something.

He wasn't a liberal by any means, exact opposite. And he never liked me raising my hand in class to ask questions. (FTR: College. I was what passed for a liberal back then Civil Rights, Voting rights, Women's Rights had no issue with those in theory. He did. Vehemently. It was a spring course but I had a summer job to stay in College Station and attend class. He was very late by weeks posting grades. But I was still on campus when the grades were posted. Everyone got a "C". I saw him on campus one day and asked him why I received a C on his final? He was sheepish and admitted he had read anyone's test yet but just awarded grades based on he liked them. Now, I didn't go off on him. He seemed so broken. I just asked if he could read my exam answers. He changed his grades, gave me an A-. Because of my class participation! LOL.Only one two profs I had wherein I could not interact with them.)

I also urge leaders of opposing student political groups Texas Aggie Democrats, College Republicans, Young Democratic Socialists, and Young Conservatives to come together and identify points of agreement about the education you all wish to receive.

---

There is not a single point of agreement with the future traitors and terrorists in bold. This group's intent is to destroy the USA and remake it into a communist ****hole.

At least this anonymous person doesn't have to worry about her colleagues reporting her as "violent threat" to be investigated as an "active shooter" risk. ONLY the left does that nonsense....not "both sides".

I know nothing I say will affect how professors, staff, and current students are viewed. However, the blind, dismissive hate of all concerns (especially those of students… fellow Aggies) will damage Texas A&M in the long run and cost future Aggies the highest quality educations. Congrats, I guess.
