I have ties to this university, and I asked my colleagues who are still there. It sounds like professors at A&M are really shaken by this revelation and the other brouhaha around the failed hiring of Kathleen McElroy. I wouldn't be surprised if professors start abandoning the university in droves.
I have a colleague who works at a state school in Florida who said at an online virtual panel a few months ago that "the Great Resignation" had her institution down 30% of all staff/faculty roles because of COVID. I audibly gasped hearing that. But also, she's dead wrong - that isn't the COVID Great Resignation anymore, that's the consequence of DeSantis eroding professor autonomy and tenure protections in the state of Florida. Texas appears soon to repeat these issues.
