Texas just voted to destroy its public universities.

A great time to hire faculty fleeing Texas and Florida.

If you are thinking about a job in Texas in education--think again.

#SB18 #SB17

And last week, AHA special projects coordinator Julia Brookins testified in opposition to #SB18 on behalf of the AHA before the Texas House of Representatives Higher Education Committee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQtGIeZhyq4&t=1s

#SB18 is being debated in the Texas House today. In April, the AHA sent a letter opposing the bill, which would eliminate tenure for new hires at public institutions in the state beginning in 2024. https://www.historians.org/news-and-advocacy/aha-advocacy/aha-sends-letter-to-texas-house-of-representatives-opposing-legislation-to-eliminate-tenure-(april-2023)

Shtetl News: Scott Aaronson posted on the #Texas #SB18 , #SB17, #SB16 debacles a few days back. He mentions the figurative nuking of the *1st class University system* Texans took so much time & effort to build. It's not the hot take but well reasoned-as usual.The pattern of #RedStates nuking themselves is intensifying as stupidity & incompetence simply do what they do best. Brain drain tends to work from ground zero out. #BlueStates should woo the cream, reject the dross
