A Texas A&M professor sent a few emails about Black History Month. Months later, a conservative outlet published some of those messages. Amid the fallout, she resigned. Here's what it feels like to be the target of an anti-DEI campaign. @chronicle tinyurl.com/4bb7nknf

SCOOP: Documents obtained by @chronicle offer an inside look into the UW System's DEI deal that exchanged staff raises for cuts to DEI positions & programs. The initial failure to pass the deal left the system's president doubting his credibility to lead. shorturl.at/ruAN1

Scoop: Two years ago, a Western civ center got started on UF's campus. Now, six profs are under investigation to determine if they "interfered" with its plans. And at least one department chair was asked to pledge to cooperate with the center: chronicle.com/article/u-of-f…

Last October, @UWSystem closed one two-year campus and ended in-person instruction at two others. My latest @chronicle examines how WI's decades-long pattern of evading tough decisions led to this moment & the consequences of putting off change. chronicle.com/article/wiscon…

Ace reporting by @ZachSchermele (w/ docs from @meganzahneis) — we spent most of today digging through hundreds of pages of texts and emails detailing who tried to influence Kathleen McElroy's hiring at Texas A&M. Here's what we found: chronicle.com/article/who-ha…

If we learned anything from yesterday’s Texas A&M news deluge, it was just how much administrators shirked the typical faculty hiring process. But McElroy’s case is just the latest in a nat’l trend that has many faculty worried. My latest @chronicle: chronicle.com/article/who-ha…
