A Texas A&M Regent says "McElroy’s hiring would derail the “purpose” outlined for the journalism program: “to get high-quality Aggie journalists with conservative values into the market.”

The bad news: our main campus library just announced it's cutting hours because of budget cuts and reduced student demand.
The good news! Our brand new 3,000 square foot E-sports center with 55 new MSI Trident gaming computers, 3 65" and 3 86" screens for livecasting games is now open!
What budget crisis?! Gotta keep looking on the bright side! #highered #academia @academicchatter@a.gup.pe

Gordon Gee is emblematic of everything that is wrong with leadership in #highered today. Solidarity with faculty at #WVU who voted 797-100 in favor of a no-confidence resolution against Gee. @academicchatter@a.gup.pe https://www.wboy.com/n…
