The university has seen the community express desires to rename campus fixtures in light of WAP. Today, we are taking measures to address this need.
WCP will now be WAP.
Littlefield Fountain will now be WAP Fountain.
Littlefield Mansion will now be WAP Mansion.
Did you think "The Eyes of Texas" was racist?
Our panel of UT establishment figures has concluded that it will stay! This has nothing to do with our salaries being tied to racist donors. Read the full report to laugh at how hard we tried to protect racism. #HookEm
A committee of faculty scholars, students and alumni has completed its work documenting the nearly 120-year history of “The Eyes of Texas” as part of the university’s commitment to fully own, acknowledge and teach about its school song

NEW: 8 current + past @UTAustin students were arrested for drug trafficking, @KXAN_News reports.
“We saw mathematics majors, chemistry majors, a psychology major, business majors, and they decided to turn their talents into this illicit operation,” the DEA says.

If you don’t like it here, just leave 😪The university supports these professors speaking out, because it lets us pick them out and bully them. Only the best and loyal can stay, no complainers! #HookEm
New: A @UTAustin professor is suing the University, saying he was retaliated against for sharing a report highlighting race-related pay disparities in the history department. More to come @thedailytexan
The president of UT literally delivered cookies to the essential workers and the graduate students knowing that we’re the lowest paid while making $1.25 million. Y’all have had people die because of their work.
If this isn’t a “LET THEM EAT CAKE” moment...
This is rarely the outlying opinion from many professors who earn salaries upwards of $200k in lucrative departments like accounting, engineering, finance, comp sci, and medicine. Professors immersed in privilege can simply no longer grasp the fact that students are suffering.
The argument from @UTexasMcCombs@erichirst against the P/F resolution: a mess that lacks empathy towards student suffering from the virus or any real-world understanding of the fact that employers rarely consider a few P/F marks on a transcript. Stop the ranking games. #HookEm
