The University of Texas has finally made its decision over the school song, “The Eyes of Texas.”
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The University of Texas’ long-awaited report on “The Eyes of Texas” has found that the school song has “no racist intent,” but the school president said athletes and band members will not be required to sing or participate when the song is played at games and campus events.
UT donors have threatened to withhold their money if the school caves to activist students and removes the school song, “The Eyes of Texas.”
“I know this much, The Eyes of Texas is our school song. We’re going to sing that song, we’re going to sing that proudly,” Sarkisian told reporters at his introductory press conference on Tuesday.
Longhorn Band drum major Ally Morales has announced that she will never again play the school song, “The Eyes of Texas,” as criticism of the song grows in Austin.
