Texas A&M University is shelling out a hefty sum of cash to a veteran Black journalist and professor. On August 3, the school announced its agreement to pay a $1 million settlement to Kathleen McElroy after reducing an offer it made her for a tenured position.
A journalism professor who was involved in a controversy that rocked Texas A&M reached a settlement of $1 million with the university after it reneged on its initial offer.
A new internal report, conducted by the university system’s office of general counsel, also looked into Texas A&M’s decision to temporarily suspend a respected opioids expert after she was accused of criticizing Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in a lecture.
