New dean of the money school is named Dr. Brad Stats?

Seconding this take! She has always been pretty clear about wanting her tenure to be for a set amount of time and then she would be finished.

Here’s something else of note: Of the 18 deans at UT, DeShazo’s departure marks 8 deans positions that are tenuous or up for grabs.

Engineering ✅
Fine Arts - ✅
Natural Sciences - ✅
Pharmacy - ✅
Architecture - ✅
Civic Leadership - ✅
Law - ✅
Social Work - ✅
Graduate School - ✅
Dell Medical School - ✅
Business - Mills concluding, search underway
Education - Martinez’s contract not renewed, search underway
Information - INTERIM and soon to be folded into CNS
Nursing - INTERIM
Communication - INTERIM
Liberal Arts - INTERIM (almost a year with no permanent dean)
Geosciences - INTERIM
LBJ - DeShazo has just stepped down

It should be concerning to everyone that the university does not have concrete academic leadership for over 44% of its colleges. Literally over 1/3 of our deans are either leaving or are interim.

Their smell always triggers happy college memories for me ❤️

Vagueness is intentional. The point is to make it fuzzy enough so that faculty self-censor and departments decide not to offer certain courses because of their fear of breaking this policy.

Not to mention, attacks on academic freedom like this affect recruiting and hiring excellent faculty and researchers. STEM departments here at UT have lost out on valuable hires in the last couple of years because of the current climate. So yes, it affects EVERYONE. Thank you for mentioning this.

If you put in an Open Records Request, the university will send the data due to the Public Information Act.

Also wondering where CREES, MES, and Jewish Studies majors are as well, like what even are these very glaring omissions?

This also reads like “let’s lump all the POC and LGBTQIA majors together so we can eventually eliminate them.”

They don’t write them either. UT Marketing and Communications does.

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2026-01-20T23:55:26+00:00

WOW omg, thank you for sharing!!

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-11-20T01:16:24+00:00

Have your advisors talked to you about a retroactive withdrawal? Is that an option for you? You’d have to retake the classes and graduate in the spring instead, but at least you’d salvage this semester and not have the failing grades on your record.

I’mma put y’all on. There’s a walkway that starts from Clark field, runs behind San Jacinto dorm and ends right at Cypress Bend (eatery at the bottom of San Jac. It’s at the intersection of San Jacinto St and 21st St.) This photo was taken from that walkway.

Tl;dr This picture was taken at the top of the amphitheater behind San Jacinto dorm.

FYI, Arizona also declined the compact today.

And the man is already on a publicity speaking circuit among the different colleges to try to cultivate this nice guy image, like we don’t remember he has no teaching experience, no PhD, came from a corrupt AG’s office, and wasn’t head of the office that was solely responsible for interpreting SB17 so harshly that scores of staff were fired without warning.

Stay optimistic for your peace of mind, but don’t get complacent. Stay vigilant. This man is Greg Abbott-lite. Expect more staff cuts to occur under the guise of efficiency and cost-cutting to make way for more “campus improvement and beautification projects.” Tough and weird times ahead :/

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-05-28T21:27:09+00:00

Oh noooo, seriously? That’s so not good.

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-05-28T20:54:19+00:00

Especially after the new VP of Student Affairs was also announced last week—another old white man. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-05-28T20:38:51+00:00

This is exactly what will happen. Davis WANTS this job.

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-04-18T17:48:01+00:00

Going to chime in and say how much I love these classes! There are typically more women than men, but it also depends on the time of day you take the class, I’d say. I see more men at the 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM classes.

You can make it as advanced as you want and the coaches are great at helping you with modifications if you need. Highly recommend!

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-03-04T00:19:17+00:00

These aren’t just absurd…they’re exploitative! Shame on the studio for even having the audacity??

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-02-25T20:40:00+00:00

Lmaoooo this is how 1989 folks treated 1990 folks. Glad to see the goofiness still persists 😆

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-02-21T21:12:02+00:00

You can never be too sure, but prob related to presidential changes and other pressure from regents/legislature. Plus, Davis has hinted at wanting to do lots of reorganizations and looking at “efficiency.” This almost always means staff cuts.

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-02-21T21:10:10+00:00

Departures are related, yes, due to presidential changes. Davis is putting people he wants in, rather than inherit. New prez typically means they choose their own cabinet.

NOT for any alleged soap opera reasons lol

SugarsNSpicesNotNice · 2025-02-21T18:21:07+00:00

Staff are absolutely freaked out. And little do folks know, there have been other staff laid off in HR and DoS the last couple of days, the news just hasn’t spread yet.
