Texas A&M cancels conference trip excluding White and Asian students after governor backlash [Video]

Texas A&M University pulled the brakes on an upcoming conference trip after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott discovered that only applicants of a particular race could attend.

On Monday, conservative activist Christopher Rufo posted an image of the university promoting the PhD Project’s Annual Conference in Chicago. The application specified that the conference is “designed for historically underrepresented individuals considering business doctorial studies,” and only Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic American or Native American/Canadian Indigenous students were eligible.

“Texas A&M is sponsoring a trip to a DEI conference that prohibits whites and Asians from attending. The university falsely claims that this use of taxpayer funds does not violate the state’s DEI ban. @TAMU is supporting racial segregation and breaking the law,” Rufo wrote.

The post eventually caught Abbott’s eye late Monday, leading him to threaten the job security of the university’s president if the matter was not corrected.
