I talked to the Austin Higher Ed Reporter about the Texas Turmoil

Here.  Not really much new for those who've been following the blog coverage of this unfortunate situation, though a couple of folks asked about my comment that the ten highest paid faculty doesn't correspond to the ten most distinguished faculty at UT.  Of course, some of that top ten list does, but it was surprising not to see, e.g., Sanford Levinson and Scot Powe in the top ten, though seniority might explain why folks like Mitch Berman and Abe Wickelgren weren't there either.
