☆ Texas A&M Agrees to $1 Million Settlement With Journalism Professor
  + stars: | 2023-08-03 | by ( Stephanie Saul | More About Stephanie Saul | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Texas A&M University acknowledged on Thursday that top university officials, fearing criticism from conservatives, had made “significant mistakes” in their failed effort to hire a prominent Black professor to run the university’s journalism program. It said it had reached a $1 million settlement with the professor, Kathleen McElroy. Then, following complaints about her hiring from university regents, they changed the terms of her contract. What had started as an offer of a full faculty position with tenure was reduced to a one-year appointment with no tenure, the university’s report says. Dr. McElroy, who had run the journalism program at the University of Texas and was formerly an editor at The New York Times, announced in July that she would not take the job, less than a month after Texas A&M had held a public signing ceremony to welcome her, complete with balloons.

☆ Texas A&M President Resigns Amid Fallout Over Journalism Program
  + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Remy Tumin | More About Remy Tumin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Texas A&M University said on Friday that its president would retire “immediately” after fallout surrounding political pushback of a new director of its journalism program because of her work promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. The president, M. Katherine Banks, submitted a letter of retirement late Thursday, the university said in a statement. At least one conservative Texas A&M alumni group, the Rudder Association, said it had filed a complaint about Dr. McElroy’s appointment because of her advocacy work. Dr. McElroy told The Times that the terms of her employment had been revised to offer her a one-year contract. She elected to return to her tenured position at the University of Texas.

☆ Tackling the threat of mudslides in soaked California

Matt Udkow / Santa Barbara County Fire Department via AP fileWhy is California prone to mudslides? Since New Year’s Eve, the California Department of Conservation’s landslide mapping team has documented more than 300 landslides. Lancaster said California has dramatically increased its efforts to identify hotspots since the Montecito mudslides. After the 2018 mudslides hit Montecito, the Los Angeles Times reported that debris basins above the community were undersized and hadn’t been sufficiently emptied. The organization hired an engineering company to map the canyons and installed debris nets.
