Back in 1994, I was a TA at #TAMU. I made $6,877, and at 50% FTE, I qualified for health insurance. Not sure if that is true today. I could opt into a Scott & White HMO for little to no money in premium.

The President of #TexasAandM ‘University’ has resigned because a #trans faculty member taught about #gender in literature that reflects gender in real life, but not gender in the imaginary world of #AlternativeFacts in the #MAGA #cult. https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/19/texas-am-president-mark-welsh/
Sadly, #TAMU is now really just an #NFL farm team run by a military #fraternity masquerading as a #university.

My son has a 5 part lab with most of the parts going from a-n (13 pages!). But sure, "Grade inflation" is a real problem. My son, who got two A's on his recent exams, was breaking down over trying to finish this crazy ass lab in time. #SuicidePreventionMonth #TAMU #JustSayNo

@oliversampson @pluralistic A couple of my son's college courses do this. It is super frustrating for him when he gets 3/5 on a quiz with no feedback on what he got wrong before an exam. The most egregious is when homework is due _after_ an exam, so you dont even know how well you did before taking a test. #TAMU

CW: Any #MechanicalEngineers on Mastodon that can help on this HW problem? (Plz boost)
It's already too late to turn in, but because #TAMU sucks this class doesn't return or reviews HW before exams, we need help to understand what we're doing wrong.
The red forces and steps below we added to the problem.
So we get the EoE equations 1 and 2 (our forces are the wrong direction but the negatives work it out and we use red arrows to show the correct direction).

Mir ist gerade eingefallen, dass die Bibliothek der #TAMU auch von einer Beratungsfirma zerhackstückt wurde und wird.

Multiple funded entomology PhD positions at Texas A&M. The plus: TAMU entomology is a big, active department with a long history of productive research. The minus: academic and personal freedoms are increasingly curtailed in Texas, and especially at A&M.

A professor fisks a lieutenant governor, and it is glorious.

While I'm glad Dr. McElroy got $1 M for this ordeal and I agree the ensuing transparency is good, we should all understand that the people seeking to control faculty hiring at #TAMU based on perceived political leanings *won*.
It's just that they couldn't win in the darkness and for free.

It is concerning that the premier scientific institution for guiding Texas agricultural systems through these difficult climate transitions- Texas A&M- appears to be trapped in a state political apparatus increasingly geared to serve the powerlust of the Texas elite that caused the climate crisis, instead of the very real food needs of the people of Texas.

“José Luis Bermúdez, who led the school’s College of Arts and Sciences, will leave A&M after a deal to hire respected journalist Kathleen O. McElroy fell apart amid conservative pushback.”
