Mark A. Welsh III will step down as Texas A&M University president on Friday, 19 September. The resignation follows backlash after a viral video showed a student confronting a professor, Melissa McCoul, over LGBTQ+ themes in a children’s literature class. McCoul was fired amid pressure from Republican lawmakers, including Governor Greg Abbott.
