Professor: Texas used to have universities

By abandoning free inquiry, Texas is abandoning the definition of university.

"If you’re an instructor at Texas Tech, you can extol fascism; but you cannot wonder aloud whether a mutation to the SRY gene on the Y chromosome makes a person neither male nor female."

Texas conservatives are busy destroying academic freedom in higher education.

The failure of the university's president to stand up for the faculty member under attack and for the principle of academic freedom is appalling.
