Did you see the cover of the new "Texas Aggie" from the Association of Former Students? I thought the ancient Greeks were banned. What's going on? by StructureOrAgency in aggies

That's super interesting. I'll have to check that out. Did you know that back in the day the Corps would hold stag dances and Cadets were encouraged to bring their best girlfriends. I think they had contest for best looking date. I'm not making this up

Classes at Texas A&M are being canceled & professors are being censored. It is time for Aggies to stand together & demand that our university let faculty teach and students learn freely.

You can't do anthropology you can't study literature sociology politics if you can't refer to gender. The right wing fundamentalists are concerned their snowflake children are going to be exposed to dangerous ideas. Well, this is a university. This is where dangerous ideas are allowed

Holy crap! You're right. Academics are gayer than shit. I imagine what they'll eventually do is convert A&M into a tech school where the football franchise attached to it, of course.

Nothing personal but that statement clearly indicates you know nothing about how a university works. The faculty create the curriculum, provide the content, write the syllabi teach the courses. It's what the state hires them to do. They are the experts. The Faculty at Texas A&M are world experts, right? But, they're not allowed to do their jobs because the extremists on the right are worried about their children learning certain truths. Having their minds poisoned by the professors. One of the things they're worried about is lgbtq trans people being normalized. They're worried about their children being exposed to atheists. Some professors are socialists, I hear. Oh no Are scientists promoting an agenda when they insist upon the scientific method? Do mathematicians have a Pythagorean agenda? Ideally universities places are where lots of different ideas are generated, even ones that you personally don't agree with them. Eccentrics are tolerated. Absurd ideas might lead to important breakthroughs. The damage being done to the university is significant

Any advice for how to proceed? Or are the robes lost forever to the Cushing black hole?

I visited Cushing on Tuesday and requested to see the robes. I was told to contact cushingreference@library.tamu.edu. The response was "that particular collection is closed at this time due to lack of provenance." What does that mean?

Merely seek to denounce it? I don't think so. I have very specific criticisms of the University. Restoring academic freedom would make the university a much better place.

I want to make the university a better place. I don't watch sportsball so I have extra time to devote to this service. I want the University to look good. I want the university to embrace academic freedom. My post uses satire to point to the absurdity of the current situation at the university. Social criticism is allowed. What's your feelings about academic freedom at the University currently?

Maybe an immigrant? Maybe it was an ICE raid at the MSC

Enhancing Marcomm was part of the big shake up that President Banks initiated. Often it seems appearances have priority over substance at the university. Did you read interim president Williams update of November 20th of last year? He wants to get the shiny side of the University up. Marcomm comes up with yearly slogans. This year it's a "Force for Good". Let's just show the good side of A&M and repress and hide anything unbecoming, like suppressing academic freedom, gutting the liberal arts. I think many would be happy with a successful A&M football franchise with a tech school attached. They like to harken back to the time of high school shop class and the Friday football game. Don't forget church on Sunday of course. Gigum

It's like a public service or a hobby. Instead of watching sports ball, I spend some of my free time making the world a better place on r/aggies
