Glen Maxey for UT Chancellor?
After we broke the story that UT Chancellor Mark Yudof had agreed to take the top job at the University of California and would soon make his decision public, a reader commented that former state representative and longtime Democratic activist Glen Maxey should be considered as Yudof’s replacement.
“Maxey is a true leader!” the reader wrote, “”Maxey would do for UT what Yudof never could.”
But isn’t Glen an Aggie? Yes, although he wisely left that out of his campaign bio during his recent Travis County race. Has UT ever had an Aggie as Chancellor? Not that we could find.

I’m no Aggie.
Although I once lived in College Station and Wellborn in Brazos County, taught in Navasota, and took some classes in graduate school at A&M.
My degrees are from Sam Houston State in Huntsville.
Additionally, there are MANY reasons I shouldn’t be UT’s Chancellor, being a possible Aggie is the least of them.

Sorry about that, Glen. We were just looking at ye ole Wikipedia:
Maxey was educated at Sam Houston State University and Texas A&M University. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree and Masters of Education from Sam Houston State University.

It’s not inaccurate. Just as many things in politics and gossip, there is a grain of truth that make people assume… and you know what happens when you assume…
