Texas A&M President to resign after backlash over gender identity lesson [View all]
Texas A&M University president Mark A. Welsh III is set to resign Friday Sept. 19, after a professor's recent firing amid controversy over a viral video concerning "gender ideology' in the classroom.
“President Welsh is a man of honor who has led Texas A&M with selfless dedication,” said Chancellor Glenn Hegar said in a statement released by the college. “We are grateful for his service and contributions. At the same time, we agree that now is the right moment to make a change and to position Texas A&M for continued excellence in the years ahead.”
Hegar and the school's board announced the former Air Force Chief of Staff General "will step down from his role" effective Friday, Sept. 19 at 5 p.m.
Hegar thanked Welsh for his service to the university and the nation, and applauded "his leadership in advancing student success, research growth, and community engagement at Texas A&M."
“General Welsh’s legacy of leadership and service is one that the Aggie family will always remember," Board of Regents Chairman Robert Albritton said. "The Board of Regents is united in ensuring that this transition strengthens the university’s future and keeps Texas A&M true to its mission and values."

The brownshirts have taken over there, although I'm still unclear as to what the whole "controversy" was about.
