‘Immoral’: Texas A&M professor challenges faculty hiring program that excludes whites and Asians

The faculty senate at Texas A&M university recently voted 54-12 to endorse the aims of a professor recruitment initiative that specifically excludes white and Asian applicants along with other diversity efforts.

However, one professor spoke out against the Accountability, Climate, Equity, and Scholarship Faculty Fellows Program and called it “immoral” during the senate meeting.

The resolution called on the university to “support the goals of such programs as ACES and Aces PLUS,” although some faculty argued that the measure did not endorse the specific initiative.
