Christy Mag Uidhir will be giving up his position as professor of philosophy at the University of Houston.
Readers may recall that the administration at the University of Houston had adopted the “indoctrination narrative”, a pretext for violating the academic freedom of professors to teach what and how they judge they ought to. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Daniel P. O’Connor, asked all faculty in the college to complete a form declaring that they’re not indoctrinating their students.
At the time, Professor Mag Uidhir stated that he had told the dean and his department chair he would not be completing any such form.
He now writes:
I have notified the University of Houston that I will be resigning my position as Professor of Philosophy effective June 1st, 2026. Not sure what I’ll be doing next, but I do know that whatever it is, I won’t be doing it in Texas.
