Extended Interview: UT Austin professor Chaar López, a scholar on border surveillance, was denied tenure without a stated reason, despite positive reviews and recommendations. He talks about what this means for his future, and the chilling effect it has had on faculty across the country. At the core of the conversation, the loss of academic freedom and changes to education in the state and what he sees as a “growing spiral of censorship and control and demands for obedience that are concerning and troubling.”
