A Texas A&M committee found the 2025 firing of professor Melissa McCoul unjustified and a violation of academic freedom.
A Texas A&M University committee has ruled that the university’s 2025 firing of professor Melissa McCoul was unjustified, finding no valid cause and that proper procedures were not followed.
The decision, based on a classroom video showing a student’s objection to a lesson on gender identity in children’s literature, comes after political backlash from Republican leaders including Governor Greg Abbott.
The committee concluded McCoul’s teaching aligned with academic standards and that the dismissal violated academic freedom.
The nonbinding recommendation will be reviewed by interim President Tommy Williams, who will determine whether to reinstate her.
