  • The Daily Texan Diversity & Inclusion Board August 3, 2020 Statement
    The Daily Texan Diversity & Inclusion Board August 3, 2020 Statement: Demands for Reforms in The Daily Texan Newsroom To The Daily Texan and Texas Student Media (TSM): The murder of George Floyd, Mike Ramos, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and countless other lives lost to anti-Black violence in the U.S. has led to an upheaval of the oppressive structures that harm this country’s newsrooms. Black and Latinx journalists at news outlets such as The Los Angeles Times , The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and many, many more across the country have pressured their employers to reckon with this industry’s complacency in upholding white supremacy. And as a student media outlet, it’s imperative that we do the same. A response to “Demands for Reforms in The Daily Texan Newsroom” from the Director for Texas Student Media (TSM) The Director agrees and is committed to finding a resolution for each of the recommendations. If the Diversity and Inclusion Board would be open to meeting, we can define a path that builds structure and framework to accomplish these requests by October 1. It will require work by committee, but that achievement is possible. A committee composed of the D&I Board, the Director of TSM, and representatives from the TSM Board of Trustees, The Daily Texan leadership and the Moody College of Communication can work to resolve these requests. I also agree that the Daily Texan and all student media units at Texas Student Media haven’t always been as welcoming as they could be. I believe this to be true for the 100+ year history of the organization.

    Rebecca Tarvin [email protected] The University of California Berkeley, Department of Integrative Biology www.tarvinlab.org Apr 2019 Page 1 of 10 RESEARCH INTERESTS My research goals are to (1) elucidate causal genetic mechanisms underlying novel traits, (2) characterize phenotypic diversification at macro- and micro-evolutionary scales, and (3) identify factors that promote and constrain biodiversity. To accomplish these goals, I link studies of natural history with functional genomics using both molecular and computational tools.

Photo courtesy of the South Austin Popular Culture Center. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 10 [2010], Iss. 1, Art. 3 “I wanna go home with the Armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women You’ve ever seen.” These lyrics from Gary P. Nunn’s “London Homesick Blues” adorn the wall above the exit from the Austin Bergstrom International Airport baggage claim. For years, they also played as the theme to the award-winning PBS series Austin City Limits. In short, they have served in more than one instance as an advertisement for the city’s sense of self, the face that Austin, Texas, presents to visitors and national audiences. The quoted words refer, if obliquely, to a moment in 9 the 1970s when the city first began fashioning itself as a key American site of musical production, one invested with a combination of talent and tradition and tolerance that would make of it the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World.”1 In many ways, the venue of the Armadillo World Headquarters served as ground zero for these developments, and it is often remembered as a primary site for the decade’s supposed melding of Anglo-Texan traditions and countercultural lifestyles.2 This strand of public memory reveres the Armadillo as a place in which
