Regents of the University of North Texas System approved dozens of tenure applications, without public discussion, as part of their recent quarterly meeting.  The tenure applications cover all UNT institutions, with the bulk coming from the main campus in Denton. Supporting documents for these applications covered more than 30 percent of the 155-page agenda book for the meeting.  The applications were passed on the consent agenda. Consent agendas are a tool designed to allow governmental bodies to quickly move through non-controversial items but are frequently abused to hide controversial measures.  Texas Scorecard performed a basic search on these applications and found several with backgrounds in far-left “scholarship” covering areas like critical race theory and LGBT activism. Much of this material is also available in the regents’ agenda book. view article
