       Amazing story. Have you followed it? Texas A&M announces a new journalism dean. She's black and she's qualified— and an alum of the school! Ex-New York Times too. They announce her appointment in a splashy event.Dark forces of reaction mobilize.The offer is watered down to one year, with no tenure. She says no way, and withdraws. National news is made. It's negative. And today, the president of A&M resigns! https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/21/tamu-president-resign-journalism/https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/11/texas-a-m-kathleen-mcelroy-journalism/#journalism #uspol #science
