This article is hot garbage and somehow worse than I expected. It’s an actual hit piece with zero attempt at balance The first quote is from Jeremi Suri who proclaims there is now “McCarthyism” on campus. This is the same Suri who called 40% of voters in ATX “racists” for voting for a pro LEO proposition. Also the same Suri who almost got arrested for mooning 🍑 APD. Totally unserious to use him as a source for anything Then we hear from a Prof who believes Provost Inboden traffics in “White Supremacy” bc he rearranged some departments. 🙄 Then we get some quotes from Profs who left UT to go to places like Michigan. Academics making lateral transfers to elite schools is a sign UT is strong, not weak. Academics do move around. And not a word on how many Profs are dying to come to UT! There is not a SINGLE quote from a Professor saying things are good at UT. I’m sure @Forrest4Trees searched long and hard but couldn’t find anyone. But the best part is Forrest has to grudgingly admit that UT is actually THRIVING under @JimDavis_UT ! Record applications ✅ Record admissions ✅ Record fundraising ✅ Elite brand recognition ✅ But of course the thinking goes all this may go away bc some Republicans have leadership positions I get @TexasMonthly will always have a liberal slant on things but doing outright hit pieces with ZERO balance is gross UT is thriving. 🤘🏼 #HookEm
