Although McCoul was fired on September 9, a day after Harrison shared the incident on X, many have insisted that there was a deeper rot that needed to be removed, starting with Welsh.
“His ambivalence on the issue and his dismissal of the student’s concerns by immediately taking the side of the professor is unacceptable,” Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (R) said on X. “Most parents, students, and Aggie alumni expect Texas A&M to reflect the values of our state and our nation as well as A&M’s rich history. If President Welsh will not or cannot reflect those values, then change needs to happen.”

With an eye to the future, Harrison added, “Now … END ALL DEI AND LGBTQ INDOCTRINATION IN TEXAS!!”
Blaze News reached out to Welsh for comment.
Board Chair Robert Albritton said regents will appoint an interim president and initiate a national search for a permanent president “in the coming days,” according to WFAA.
