"Having worked alongside so many dedicated members of this university for the past 30 years, I've seen firsthand the remarkable impact Texas A&M has on students, communities and our state. I am honored by the trust and confidence of the Board of Regents and Chancellor [Glenn] Hegar, and if given the opportunity, I look forward to building on the incredible work already underway and leading Texas A&M into its next chapter."
"Under Williams, Texas A&M has moved to restrict discussions of race or gender ideology, closed its women's and gender studies programs, censored the use of Plato in a philosophy course, and canceled a graduate course on ethics because of concerns about how race, gender and sexuality might be taught—all incidents that prompted concerns about academic freedom."
Susan Ballabina has been named the sole finalist for the presidency of Texas A&M University by the Board of Regents. She is currently the executive vice chancellor of the Texas A&M University system and has a 30-year career within the system. Ballabina aims to build on the university's existing work and lead it into a new chapter. She will replace interim president Tommy Williams, who has faced criticism for restricting discussions on race and gender. If approved, Ballabina will be the third permanent president since 2021.
