Because they're massive hypocrites, a concept that is surely familiar to you.

Even if I were to agree with you in principle, surely they only indulge in hypocrisy when it is convenient to them, and avoid it when it harms them immediately and directly. You arguments are childish and amount to "[people I dislike] are [dumb/mean/poopooheaded]" and aren't internally consistent or explanatory.

If it interferes with their opportunity to engage in their favorite narratives, such as espousing racial ideology, this turn of events can't have done anything except impair that.

And you don't seem to be making the argument that they did this without realizing the consequences, or anything of that nature. Perhaps you are confused, I see that alot from people who don't use punctuation.

Yet they did it.

I'm not. I don't need to make any arguments. It is a fact that it was done and it is a fact who it was done by. There is no disputing that. You can guess whatever reasoning you want, I do not particularly care. It was done by the Texas Board of Regents, not liberal woke purple haired coast elites. Get a grip already.

Funny coming from the poster with a bunch of posts that are flagged. I didn't even flag them!

You should ask them, not me. Maybe also read the article while you're at it.
