I would like to know her positions on DEI and wokeism in the university system.

The two most dangerous domestic terrorists groups in the USA are the modern democrat party and the main stream media.

Don't know if this link posts, or not. But the Org structure for the system is essentially unworkable. It's little wonder that Presidents don't last long.

If the Rudder Association gives her that kind of endorsement, it gives me a lot of confidence she will be a good President for the University.

Graduated from a university in the Texas A & M University System is how I took it.

TRA endorsement seems positive imo.

Me too. I don't care if she can eat charcoal and **** diamonds, or has a 90 mph fastball, if she fails on DEI and wokeism then I hope her tenure is very short.

A movie scene that immediately popped into my head as I was reading the news of our new hire.

From "In Harm's Way":

"Torrey, these were my stars before I picked up this heavy hardware. I like to think they brought me luck. Wear 'em on your collar. If there's any luck in 'em, you're gonna need it."
