Media

I have appeared in news stories and public commentary in local, state, and national media outlets that focus on my consistent advocacy for faculty rights, academic freedom, transparency, and accountability in university governance.

I have been a familiar face giving testimony at the Texas State Capitol against legislation aimed at curtailing academic freedom, shared governance, and DEI initiatives in Texas colleges and universities.

Whether speaking to the press, testifying before legislators, or sharing my own experiences, I am honored that my voice stands out in current debates around higher education policy in Texas.
