Biology faculty at UT are meeting today to talk about a hiring plan. I really don't envy their job of trying to make a department located in Texas attractive.
We're in the middle of an ongoing purge of black staff, the adminstration just called in the state police to beat and jail students, and no one in their right mind would want to risk pregnancy to have a family here. It's bleak.

Job announcements might note that faculty and students can carry guns on campus. It might appeal to biology faculty and graduate students who wish to collect specimens by shooting them. 😉
I'm a biologist/anthropologist, MPH, PhD in epidemiology and there is literally no number of dollars you could offer me that would attract me to Texas. I wouldn't accept Dean, Chancellor or President either. I'm not even tenure tracked faculty where I am and, no, no way.
