On August  3, 2023,  Texas A&M announced that it plans on paying $1 million to Kathleen McElroy after failing to hire her.

According to Sydnie Henry of Texas Scorecard, McElroy is a diversity, equity, and inclusion advocate who turned down A&M’s final job offer for the position of journalism director after the university modified her contract following public backlash.
