The only way that far-left crap is palatable is if male (presenting as male (aww heck, I could care less if they wore dresses)) tackle football were involved.

well, I saw a story today that the ut system is cleaning house on this stuff. at Austin they are no longer letting students sign up for the Gender Studies degrees and paring down those departments so maybe some of that house cleaning is spilling over to the other campuses in the system.

I'm wondering if that isn't what happened exactly.

I had the same thought... Did she resist system policies and direction?

(A president who is out of step with the regents and chancellor won't last long.)

If you see it in the news about UT Austin, it definitely applies to all the campuses.

I was surprised to see that UNT actually has for the moment surpassed UTA in total enrollment, both at around 45,000. But unless there is a catastrophic collapse of undergraduate enrollment, I would not expect any impact on athletics.

Fall enrollment article; favorable

We are pushing 43K students; huge.

Notice that "freshman" is and has been a banned word under the Cowley administration.

I didnt read that but I dont doubt it. as an ex maverick club member and donor for many years in the past, I get fundraising letters from time to time. the last request I got from someone in the athletic depart started off with an introduction of her name and pronouns. I lost interest in her message at that point. I replied to write me again when the school plans to restart football.

Amen and amen! She can take her woke dei a** back to *unt (University of Not Texas) and be "she/her/it" there.

Hey, Bigot much?

Your parents must be soooo proud of you. Stop by the Dry Cleaners on the way home, your white sheet and hood are probably ready.

Those kind of slurs no longer work. What was a bigot? That he believes merit should trump the current way academia approaches admissions?

I think we can shut this thread down. It no longer serves any purpose.

WewereRebels is a big boy and can handle himself, but the KKK retort universally comes from someone not equipped to engage in a real discussion. It happens all the time: throw out the Nazi and KKK label in an attempt to shut-down discussion. Weak.

It serves a purpose but may have hydroplaned a bit. I'm not one to overly police a forum, but don't want my hand forced. Let's regain the steering wheel to keep it on track.
