GET ME REWRITE: Texas A&M Board of Regents votes to keep it in the family
Jessica Priest reports:
The decision follows months of upheaval at the flagship campus after Welsh resigned amid political backlash over a secretly recorded classroom discussion of gender identity that was posted online.
The search unfolded as regents took a more assertive role in responding to controversy and shaping what can be taught, part of a broader political remaking of Texas higher education under new state laws.
Ballabina is set to lead the state’s largest public university, which enrolled 72,289 students in fall 2025, and enforce new system rules that restrict how race, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity can be discussed in class.\
The board voted 8-0 to approve Ballabina as sole finalist after spending about 30 minutes in closed session. Regent David C. Baggett was absent. [emphasis added]
