Good for Texas A & M. I have a feeling the only reason they did was to follow their Daddy's lead (The University of Texas). The fact that liberal UT stepped out and did this gives me some hope that the pendulum is swinging back.

Good step. Now they need to fix the admission process.

Don't kid yourself DEI is a religion to academics.
ut did it because they were forced by political pressure to do it.
The System Regents (political appointments) forced their hand.
Good thing either way…but important to remember that ut-Austin did not suddenly see the error of its hateful ways.

And UT donors. Changing wills, causing deans to call and make impassioned pleas, over substantial planned estate endowments. Was personally briefed on a married couple where the husband withdrew a likely 8-digit endowment and the wife withdrew a possible 9-digit endowment. Husband and I bird hunt together…..
It's a nice start but now they need to get rid of the DEI departments that they created and are wasting money on.
Any chance that aggy will 'prank' us by re-installing our statues to their rightful place at 3:00AM?

Would be the nicest thing they never did for us
Good move. I saw an article maybe a week ago about how companies were cutting staff or completely getting rid of DEI departments because all they did was lose money, create friction in the company or create policies that led to a loss of money.
Maybe the start of the pendulum swinging the other way.

I sure hope so. What in the world did all of those companies and organizations think was going to happen if they installed what amounts to departments focused on finding ways to influence hiring and admissions practices that clearly discriminate based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, etc.?
Anyone convince Hershey or Coke to abandon DEI yet? Or more importantly, the large commercial lending institutions?cowboycwr said:

The "her/she" reference by Hershey could have been brilliant but they chose political correctness over humor.

Horns response was in the main due to "political" pressure. aTm's was driven also by Old Army's strong pushback on Sharp et al. Aggies still listen to their own.

This is why DEI commissars have no place on a college campus.
[It was a scene from Dostoevsky's political novel Demons played out in one of America's most exclusive training schools for its legal ruling class. And it is a stark warning about the potentially totalitarian future of the US.
You will have heard by now about the shocking incident last week at Stanford Law School, one of the country's top three, in which Kyle Duncan, an appellate judge on the federal Fifth Circuit, was shouted down and verbally abused by woke students who did not want to let him give a talk to students of the Federalist Society, which had invited him.
The law school's diversity dean, Tirien Steinbach, turned up to read a long prepared statement in which she lectured the conservative judge for his wickedness, and for causing "pain" and "harm" to Stanford students through his jurisprudence and presence on campus. You can watch the entire debacle below and you should, because you have to see it and hear it to grasp the grotesque and repulsive nature of what happened at one of America's most elite law schools.]

Stanford either expells these students, fires the administrators, and lawyers up against them, or it cedes control. No other ways about it.

Successful groups excluded from diversity initiatives shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Diversity policies are intended to close outcome gaps. Less successful groups get advantages; more successful groups get obstacles.
Believing Diversity commissars intend otherwise is an obstacle. pic.twitter.com/rj5Ta0lfVW
Stanford—where administrators allowed and even encouraged students to shout down a sitting federal judge—has more DEI personnel per capita than any other elite university. https://t.co/FUwxN7DC5L

You can prove me wrong with an example of a conservative heading up a DEI department.
