Texas A&M University recently halted its participation in a conference for recruiting minority doctoral students amid threats and accusations over compliance with state law on DEI programs.
Christopher Rufo's online allegations about Texas A&M's involvement in the conference incited a response from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who demanded immediate changes or the president's ouster.
Following Texas A&M's decision, the PhD Project's website saw several Texas public universities withdraw their participation, highlighting wider implications of Texas's ongoing debates about diversity and university policies.
The University of Texas system recommended multiple campuses withdraw their memberships with the PhD Project, but did not receive direct orders from the governor's office, raising questions about autonomy.
