The law requires publicly-funded universities and colleges to close their diversity, equity and inclusion offices, creating hiring challenges.
University of Houston Chancellor Renu Khator said recruiting faculty has been tougher. The ban has already come up in the hiring of a vice president for research in her university system.
One of the more public struggles with diversity hiring occurred this summer at Texas A&M University after the College Station school tried to hire journalism professor and former New York Times editor Kathleen O. McElroy. “The regents OK’d that [offer with tenure], told Banks OK,” Sharp said. “Why she did not do that, I don’t have an explanation. I haven’t talked to her since she left.”revealed they had concerns with McElroy’s perceived left-leaning credentials and had expressed disappointment about her hire.
