Texas A&M board members sent text messages about wanting a journalism school that would churn out conservatives. She also previously oversaw the journalism program at the University of Texas, and researched diversity, equity, and inclusion in media, according to The Associated Press. McElroy told The Texas Tribune that Texas A&M rescinded its job offer to her after "DEI hysteria" among Texas university leaders. In the text messages, Graham called McElroy's hiring "unacceptable" and says the board "can't allow it to happen," according to KBTX. And it seems that my being an Aggie, wanting to lead an Aggie program to what I thought would be prosperity, wasn't enough."

☆ Texas A&M President Resigns Amid Fallout Over Journalism Program

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.
