President Young will be leaving his position as a result of the pressure we applied together. I am grateful to each of you for staying committed to the preservation of our traditions during this challenging period. We must remain attentive to ensure the next leadership reflects the true spirit of …

We believe it's time for President Michael Young to leave Texas A&M.
We believe that President Young has demonstrated a history of undermining the traditions of the greatest university in the world. It is not surprising because he is not a former student, is not an Aggie parent and has no military background.
The following are just some of the traditions that we believe have been adversely affected through his tenure: Elephant Walk, Sully Statue, Student Bonfire, Ring Dunk.
We believe that he has also demonstrated a lack of wisdom in dealing with student issues. His focus seems to have turned to social justice verses a focus on higher learning and the Spirit of Aggieland.
In addition, we believe that President Young is inappropriately punishing students whose beliefs may differ from him, including incoming freshmen and current students. We don't think this is appropriate and possibly illegal.
Further, we believe that monitoring and collecting information about students who share a different viewpoint than the university or President Young is wrong and not in keeping with the Spirit of Aggieland.
Finally, we believe President Young has shown an inherent lack of leadership with the recent defacement of the Sully Statue. While opinions differ widely on how to best resolve this issue, we aren't seeing any type of responsible, reasoned leadership regarding this key, important issue.
For this reason, we believe that a new president be appointed at Texas A&M Immediately. This president should be a former student and have a deep love for the great traditions of Texas A&M. Please sign below if you agree.

Texas A&M Traditions and History are at the core of this great University. If current President if University cannot support and defend these traditions, he must go and a new one with a background of Texas A&M replace him.
We need a President who will uphold and value the Aggie Traditions. Not someone who wants to "fundamentally transform" the University. Don't fix what isn't broken!
I am ashamed at the lack of leadership Michael Young has shown. A landmark at our proud university was vandalized and Young did absolutely nothing about it. He is catering to the cancel culture instead of defending A&M and our traditions. It’s time for him to go, and for a true Aggie to take charge!
We need new a University President with better leadership capabilities and an understanding of what it means to be an Texas A&M Aggie!! Chris Chick ‘96
I arrived at A&M in July of ‘89. Was told about a certain tradition: Hwy 6 runs both ways, love it or leave. Seems that the current university president has never bothered to understand the love we Aggies have for our university. Your 15 minutes is up sir. Time for you to move on. HUA
He should be removed as president and disqualified from holding any position in the A&M system.
Go & go quickly.

Class of 2012 4th Generation Aggie President Young has no appreciation for the unique place TAMU is and he would like to see it become more in line with other academic institutions. This is wrong and should be resisted. We are better because we are different. We should not be the same.
