FOOTBALL

Jones, Roach lead ‘young and talented’ defense By Cameron Parker @cameronparker

Nearly two years ago following an August scrimmage, Tom Herman declared that Texas was going to win with “great defense.” But as the Longhorns head into their third year under Herman, the biggest question mark surrounding the Sugar Bowl champions is not their offense but their defense. With eight starters gone from last year’s squad, Herman and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando will turn to a new group of young but talented players to fill in the holes. Growing pains are almost certain, but with the return of seniors Brandon Jones and Malcolm Roach, Texas will have the leadership and talent necessary to compete for a conference championship. “Young and talented is better than young and not talented,” said Tom Herman said at Big 12 Media Days at AT&T Stadium. “I have no doubt that we will get better simply by infusion of talent and another year of development in our system.” The only expected returning starters for the Longhorns are Jones, Caden Sterns and Jeffrey McCulloch. Meanwhile Roach is set to line up at defensive end when Texas faces Louisiana Tech in the season opener. Besides those four, the Texas defense will put out familiar names and faces, but this time with the label “starter” attached to them. “Even though we’re young, we are very experienced in my opinion,” safety Brandon Jones said. “We’ve had a lot of people, even if they don’t start, that have gotten into the game and got that experience. If you have that game experience, it kind of builds your confidence.” Some of those players include sophomores B.J. Foster and Joseph Ossai, who combined to play in 27 games and started in eight total. Sophomore Jalen Green and redshirt freshman Ayodele Adeoye have seen limited action but are expected to start.

Regardless of how many snaps they have seen or games they have started, Jones and Roach know it is up to them to provide leadership on a defensive lineup filled with newcomers. “I’ve taken the (leadership role) upon myself because we’ve lost so many seniors,” Jones said. “Not only seniors but leaders on the defense that were a huge success and a big part of what we did and how we did it. I take a lot of pride being that role model for them.” While Herman has expressed concern about the lack of starters, Roach is confident there will not be a drop-off in performance once Texas takes the field. “Everybody in the media is saying there’s gonna be a dip in the defense, but everybody that’s stepping up and playing a starting role has played a lot of football,” Roach said. “I don’t think there’s gonna be a big dip.”

Everybody in the media is saying there’s gonna be a dip in the defense, but everybody that’s stepping up and playing a starting role has played a lot of football.” MALCOLM ROACH DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

Regardless, for Texas to take the next step and compete for a national championship this season, it will need to do so with eight new starters and the help of Jones and Roach. “If we play our best and we develop the way that we think, we can … compete for a championship,” Herman said.

EDITORIAL

UT-Austin alone in tuition aid State constitution must be amended for other UT schools to benefit

By The Daily Texan Editorial Board Another barrier to attending UT-Austin has fallen. On July 9, the University announced that about 8,600 Longhorns with an annual family income less than $65,000 will receive free tuition beginning in the fall of 2020. An additional 5,700 students whose families make up to $125,000 will receive increased financial aid. The 13 other UT System schools, from UT Dallas to UT Permian Basin, aren’t as fortunate.. None of them are getting a tuition aid program like ours. Often, with lower-income students and tuition rates, similar to UT-Austin, these schools are the ones that need it the most. UT-Austin’s tuition aid program, or the Texas Advance Commitment, will be funded with a one-time $160 million endowment from the Permanent University Fund, a funding system for the UT and A&M systems based in profits from over two million acres of West Texas land. Thanks to the discovery of massive oil reserves under PUF land, the fund is worth around $22 billion today. Under the state constitution that established the PUF, the UT and A&M systems are allocated up to 7% of PUF funds each year. As of 2019, that’s about $1.5 billion, of which the UT System gets two-thirds. UT-Austin is allowed to use a portion of these PUF funds for “operational expenses,” which includes financial aid. Every other UT System campus, however, is only allowed PUF funds for construction purposes. Our system has enough money to invest back in our students — students at every UT campus — but an archaic state constitution is holding us back. We talked to UT-Austin President Gregory Fenves about this peculiar restraint on allocation of PUF funds. He told us that he sees it as a benefit, not a drawback. “I actually see it as visionary to create this really conservative savings plan, because that’s what the PUF is,” Fenves said. “It’s a savings account to support the two grant research universities in the state. If (PUF money) was spread over all (UT System) institutions, it wouldn’t have much effect.”

LEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees.

The one-time $160 million endowment allocated for UT-Austin’s tuition aid is designed to be self-sustaining. The endowment will generate $8 million of yearly interest, which will fund tuition aid expansion. For perspective, the endowment represents less than 1% of the PUF’s around $22 billion. With all of this excess capital — and the ability to grow it through investment — it seems absurd that no other UT campus could benefit. After all, these are the campuses that need tuition aid the most. The median parental income of UT students is $123,900, which is more than double the state’s median income. At UTSan Antonio

tuition for students whose families earned up to $65,000 annually. But without access to the PUF, the program was scaled back, and eventually shuttered in 2015 after funds dried up. Universities don’t need billions in oil money to have bold and transformative tuition aid, though. Just ask the University of California System, Louisiana or even Texas A&M. We have nearly $22 billion in oil savings. What took us so long? Amending the state constitution would make these funds available as possible tuition aid for all UT System schools. Though up to 7% of the PUF’s net worth can be allocated yearly to the UT and A&M Systems, less than 5% actually is. That’s over $400 million that we could be spending but aren’t — the equivalent of multiple $160 million endowments. Perhaps if the state constitution allowed PUF money to be spent on all UT System students, our campuses would be more inclusive to Texans of every income level. Instead, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on financial sinkholes like a failed Houston campus, a struggling technology startup and a brand new office building in the middle of downtown Austin. If yearly PUF allocations can finance regents’ pet projects and tuition aid for UT-Austin with money left over, they can finance tuition aid across the UT System. It’s time to amend our outdated state constitution and allow all UT schools to benefit. The main tower of UT-Austin has again cast a shadow on all other UT institutions. Tuition aid for low income Longhorns will greatly ease financial burdens for students on the Forty Acres, but one must ask what aid there will be for it’s $73,800. helen brown | the daily texan staff UT-Tyler, UT-Rio Grande Valley, UT-Arlington, UT-Dallas, At UT-ArlingUT-Permian Basin and UT-San Antonio, among others. ton, it’s $62,700.

All eyes on him

Despite the noise, Ehlinger stays focused on the upcoming season. By Donnavan Smoot @Dsmoot3D

ver 50 reporters crowded around the podium where Sam Ehlinger was expected to speak at Big 12 Media Days. The junior quarterback, along with five other Texas representatives, ran slightly late. With each passing minute, reporters shuffled their equipment, fighting for a good angle in the media scrum. And once Ehlinger stepped up to the mic, the crowd silently held on to his every word. That’s what happens when you’re the face of Texas Football. Nearly every Longhorn football telecast has shown footage of a baby Sam Ehlinger. The montage usually starts with a video of him singing “The Eyes of Texas” and ends with a still

photo of him flashing the “Hook ‘Em” sign with both hands, all to illustrate one thing: He’s been waiting for this moment. “This team always had a belief in Sam,” senior wide receiver Collin Johnson said. “This guy’s like an alpha male. He came in his freshman year, and he carried himself like a junior or senior.” Although the bravado was there in his first season, the results weren’t. The Longhorns went 7–6 — an upgrade from the year prior but not to the expectations set before the year started — and Ehlinger had 13 touchdowns to seven interceptions. Last year, the pieces began to come together. Texas finished with 10 wins for the first time since 2009. The season ended with a win over then-No. 5 Georgia, setting the stage for a Longhorn team that has realistic championship aspirations for the first time in nearly a decade.

He came in his freshman year, and he carried himself like a junior or senior. COLLIN JOHNSON

SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER

For the first time in Ehlinger’s collegiate career, the junior quarterback enters preseason camp without the burden of having to compete for the starting job. Unlike the last several years, the announcement of the starting quarterback won’t be a suspensful one. Despite being on watchlists for the Maxwell Award, the Davey O’Brien Award and being voted as the Big 12 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, he doesn’t feel the suspected pressure to lead Texas to the proverbial promised land. “I don’t look at it like that,” said Ehlinger when asked if he’s ready to step up to be the leader. “The moment you start believing the hype or the hate, that’s when you can deviate from the path you’re supp osed to be on.” The hate, which is often magnified more than the hype, has made its way to Ehlinger this offseason. Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw spoke at his alma mater Louisiana Tech and

discussed the amount of fivestar quarterbacks Texas has recruited. Ehlinger was never in the question, but ended up in the crossfire. “One year, they signed three (five-star) quarterbacks,” Bradshaw said. “Two are now gone, and one is playing, and he ain’t that good.” The Hall of Fame quarterback wasn’t the only one with comments for the Heisman hopeful. Earlier that week, former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield was asked about Ehlinger and the Longhorns and made sure his thoughts couldn’t be misconstrued. “He doesn’t like me, and I hope he knows I don’t like him either,” Mayfield said to Norman’s SportsTalk radio station. Ehlinger heard both comments. Instead of firing back, he took the high road. “It’s completely irrelevant in my mind,” Ehlinger said. “I’m very focused on taking care of what I can control — the internal events that go on with my

teammates, my team and myself and making us better. All that’s outside noise.” During his time at Texas, Ehlinger has taken actions to keep his focus on what takes place on Saturdays. Last year, Ehlinger deleted all social media during the season. He wanted to block out the constant chatter that comes with being the starting quarterback at a major program like Texas. “That’s been my main objective: Shut out the positive and the negative noise and focus on what’s truly important and what’s truly going to make us better,” Ehlinger said. For the Longhorns and their quarterback, getting better only means two things: winning a conference championship and making an appearance in the College Football Playoff. “I’ve always said I want the University of Texas to be competing for championships,” Ehlinger said. “I think that right now we’re at a place in our program where we have a chance to do that.”

UTLA director fired after investigations Reports of ‘unacceptable conduct’ led to Phil Nemy’s dismissal. By Katie Balevic @KatelynBalevic

T Los Angeles executive director Phil Nemy was fired on May 13 as a result of “unacceptable conduct,” according to a University spokesperson. Nemy was placed on an “alternative work assignment” in December 2018 following new allegations that arose after the Texan published a 2013 investigation by the Office of Inclusion and Equity that found Nemy to be guilty of sexual misconduct. A new Office of Inclusion and Equity investigation began as a result of the new allegations, but the findings have yet to be made public.

University spokesperson Shilpa Bakre said Nemy had no oversight of students while on an alternative work assignment, but he continued performing other duties of his job and maintained his salary of $7,921 per month. Nemy, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment, had directed the UTLA program since 2005. “It was in the best interests of the University and the Moody College that Mr. Nemy’s position be terminated and that the UTLA program be taken in a different direction,” Bakre said in an email. “The University of Texas takes all allegations of wrongdoing, including sexual misconduct, seriously and strives to investigate complaints thoroughly and quickly while respecting the confidentiality of all involved parties.”

Mira Lippold-Johnson, a radio-television-film faculty member, was appointed interim director of the UTLA program for the coming year. A search for a permanent director will begin in the fall, Bakre said. In the 2013 Office of Institutional Equity investigation, originally reported on by the Texan, allegations against Nemy included inappropriate comments and unwanted touching directed at female students. Nemy was “reprimanded and received counseling consistent with the University’s approach at the time,” UT spokesperson J.B. Bird said in an email. One former female student said she avoided Nemy because he flirted with students and made them uncomfortable, according to the report.

At a beach party for UTLA students, Nemy made several lewd comments to female students, according to the report. One former female student said Nemy approached another student who was adjusting her shirt and said, “Are you looking at your boobs because everyone else is doing that for you.” “I would never, under any circumstance, intentionally cause anyone distress, and I most sincerely apologize if my attempt at humor offended anyone,” Nemy said in an emailed response to the Texan’s initial coverage. “I am deeply saddened and sorry that I may have caused some students to feel harassed.” Following the allegations of sexual misconduct, Stephen Reese, Moody’s associate dean for academic affairs in 2013, said in a 2014

performance appraisal obtained by the Texan through an open records request that Nemy was not meeting expectations for professionalism. In the annual evaluation, Reese also said Nemy had not reviewed University trainings on sexual misconduct, which were assigned to him following the investigation, for four months. Reese concluded the evaluation by commending Nemy’s work at UTLA. “I know you have worked hard on behalf of the center, and students for the most part have responded with great appreciation for that work,” Reese wrote. “We want to make sure we preserve the positive contributions you have made and the great

Law professor Erin Martinson to run for Travis County District Attorney Mackenzie Dyer @mackdyerr

Erin Martinson, an adjunct professor at the UT School of Law, announced earlier this month she is joining the 2020 primary race for Travis County District Attorney. She is one of two Democratic challengers to Republican incumbent Margaret Moore. Martinson, former managing attorney for Advocates of Victims of Crime at the Texas Legal Services Center, said her primary motivation for challenging Moore was the lack of support she saw from Travis County leadership in terms of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse cases. “I’ve represented criminal defendants, I’ve represented families in the CPS system, and throughout that time, I’ve consistently heard from my clients that … there’s not enough support for them through

the process,” Martinson said. “I think we have an obligation to hear those needs to the best of our ability and seek justice for them.” Martinson said she served as a victim advocate in Travis County for 20 years. Upon graduating from UT in 1999, she went on to work for the Women’s Advocacy Project, later renamed the Texas Advocacy Project. At the Project, she worked on a grant that prioritized cases of women arrested for crimes related to their victimization and said she had a 95% dismissal rate on her cases. Martinson said she feels Travis County leadership does not emphasize training on how to effectively communicate with victims. If elected, she said she wants to implement specialized prosecutor groups within the Criminal Justice Division. “Everything is so formulaic,” Martinson said. “It’s not taking each family and hearing what they need. Every family has

different needs.” Martinson later worked as chief of the Protective Order Division at the County Attorney’s Office. Then the Texas Legal Services Center recruited her to make changes in criminal justice advocacy work, an issue Martinson said she saw a need for in Travis County. Martinson is scheduled to teach “Domestic Violence and the Law” — a class she took as a law student that inspired her to do the work she is doing today — at UT in spring 2020. She has taught this class since spring 2016. When it comes to the district attorney race, Martinson said she wants to draw from her experience defending Travis County’s vulnerable. “I want each victim’s voice to be heard; I want to consider each defendant’s story,” Martinson said. “I really would like to seek out deeper, more meaningful resolutions to these cases.”

UTPD warns about email scam Several students receive fake job offers from UT email address.

caleb kuntz | the daily texan file Since University Career Services notified UT Police Department about the email scam last week, 13 students have reported receiving fake emailed job offers from someone claiming to work for the University, said Norma Guerra Gaier, University Career Services executive director.

By Nicole Stuessy @nicolestuessy

Throughout the last month, several students have received fake emailed job offers from someone claiming to work for the University. Since University Career Services notified the UT Police Department about the email scam last week, 13 students have reported receiving emails, said Norma Guerra Gaier, University Career Services executive director. This type of email scam has been around for a few years and occurs across the country, Gaier said. “We found out about its resurgence through student

reports that they had been offered this ‘too good to be true’ opportunity, and they wanted to check with our office to see if it was a real opportunity,” Gaier said. “Our office had created a ‘how to identify and avoid a job scam’ posting here that went on our website to address the scam from years ago.” According to the University Career Services website, the scam emails come from a utexas.edu email account from someone claiming to be with Handshake, an online career network for college students. The scammer offers a position to work with a clinical counselor in the office of “Students with Disabilities,” and in most cases, students are asked to

purchase gift cards and later, to print checks. “Some students have lost hundreds of dollars,” UTPD spokesperson Noelle Newton said in an email. “However, scams like these can total into the thousands. We are unaware of how the scammers got access to a utexas.edu email address.” To avoid being scammed, Newton said students should ask for the name of the agency and a phone number of the business providing a job offer. “You can then research the number to see if it matches with the agency,” Newton said. “Contact the agency using the phone number you identified through an independent source to verify

the information. A legitimate agency will never deal in gift cards or overpay you with a check.” There are more red flags students can look for, Gaier said. “Typically the communication has typos and grammatical errors,” Gaier said. “The message might come from a UTexas email address, but in some cases, they will later use a general email account.” Calleigh Stewart, a rhetoric and writing junior, said she learned about her current job with Texas Parents Association after receiving an email last year. “When I got the job last year, there wasn’t this scam going on, and when I reapplied

this year I was confident it was legitimate,” Stewart said. “It is scary knowing there is a scam is going on because I’ll have to look for a job next semester.” Gaier said she encourages students to look for job opportunities through HireUTexas, HireALonghorn and other UT-approved job banks. “If you go through that system, more than likely you’re going to be safer than when you get a random email of somebody saying, ‘Oh I’ve got this job for you,’” Gaier said. “If a student finds themselves in a position where they are not sure if it’s a legitimate opportunity, they can contact University Career Services, and we are happy to work with them to verify the legitimacy of it.”

UT opens reproductive mental health center By Claire Bills @clairezbills

UT Health Austin is now offering mental health care for current and soon-to-be mothers through the new Women’s Reproductive Mental Health center. The center, located in The Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences near campus, began offering treatment last month for women suffering from mental illness either before, during or after pregnancy. The treatment includes psychotherapy, medication, brain stimulation therapies, various forms of self-help and support groups. Psychiatrist Jeffrey Newport recently joined the clinic and helped open the center. Newport said reproductive mental health care is often overlooked. “Very often, people have not understood just what risk certain mental disorders, left untreated, can pose not only to the mother, but to her child,” Newport said.

Newport said he has helped open similar programs in other cities, and centers that offer mental health services specific to women in and around pregnancy are rare. “It’s something that is lacking most everywhere,” Newport said. “So that’s not unique to UT.” Psychology senior Taylor Ribar, who became a new mother in May, said she was frustrated with how few resources the University offered during her pregnancy. “I wish I would’ve heard about (the center) sooner, but I’m so glad it’s starting now,” Ribar said. After developing a condition during pregnancy that caused walking to be painful, Ribar said she reached out to Student Emergency Services and the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center, but she wasn’t satisfied with her care. “I wanted something more substantial, like tactics for communicating and handling a hard situation,” Ribar said. She said she primarily relied

on support and care from outside of the University. “It’s definitely hard as a student if things aren’t readily available,” Ribar said. “You don’t really have time to prioritize if it’s not there.” Marketing senior Cassie Guardiola recently became president of Horns for Life, an anti-abortion advocacy group that offers support for parents at UT. Guardiola said she is glad to hear about the new center. “I think it’s a really great resource because a lot of college students who find themselves facing a pregnancy that is unplanned don’t know where to go or who supports them,” Guardiola said. Newport said he hopes to expand the center to include more resources for the Austin community. “Ultimately, our hope is to set up an intensive outpatient program, which is a day program for women who are suffering from postpartum illness, where they can bring their babies with them to the program,” Newport said.

potential you have for shaping these young lives in rewarding directions.” In June 2018, Nemy’s performance appraisal said he had a reputation for being difficult to work with, and those in the Moody College found him to be “combative and defiant.” “Phil repeatedly offers excuses and points fingers to deflect attention to his own performance,” Michael Wilson, Moody College’s assistant dean of external relations, wrote about Nemy. “Phil might cite reasons for this, and some may hold true. He might also disagree with this assessment, but reality trumps all protests.” Nemy responded to Wilson’s evaluation, and both documents were sent to the head of the department, Dean Jay Bernhardt. “It is not fair to say that I offer excuses or point fingers to deflect attention,” Nemy wrote in response to the performance appraisal. “I have and continue to passionately fight for what I believe the UTLA Program needs to best serve the students who have and continue to enroll in the program. This is what I was hired to do — serve them to the best of my ability. I will continue to do so as long as I am allowed the privilege of doing it.”

STUDENT LIFE

Think outside the box when moving Use these quick tips to reduce stress during move out season. he most stressful time of the summer is coming. Hopefully, you were able to renew your lease, but if you weren’t able to do so, it’s time to move out. Moving out of West Campus is a headache. Being in between leases, throwing away unwanted furniture and changing your living situation are moving out traditions like no other. For this joyous occasion, it is helpful to keep in mind a few tips before moving out.

Moving Your Clothes

Getting Boxes

When moving out, the one thing you almost always need is boxes. Unless you have an abundance of suitcases and duffle bags, you’re probably going to have get cheap cardboard boxes because expensive boxes are not worth a single use. Walmart, Sam’s Club and other retail stores give away free boxes to those who simply ask for them. It’s best to go in the morning or at night after they have finished unloading

We all like clothes. You probably have too many clothes. If you have clothes you don’t want, try selling them to thrift stores like Buffalo Exchange or Plato’s Closet. It will help offset the cost of all the cleaning supplies you’ll have to buy before vacating your home. If these stores choose not to buy your clothing, donating is a great option. Marie Kondo your life and say goodbye to those clothes. For the clothes that you do want, if they are hanging in your closet, consider throwing a plastic bag over them and using it as a makeshift garment sleeve. Cut a hole at the bottom of your bag so that your hangers can

go through. This will help you keep your closet organized while making it easy to transport. For the clothes that aren’t hanging, use them to package and secure any delicates that you may be moving, such as cups and plates.

Donating Furniture

Moving out of West Campus often results in a lot of furniture being dumped out and left in the streets. Although it may seem like a practical way of disposing unwanted material, having a perfectly fine mattress sitting in the landfill doesn’t do any good for the environment. MoveATX is an organization that collects and properly disposes of the waste produced during move out in West Campus. Donation stations are set up throughout West Campus to help alleviate the waste caused by thousands of students moving out at the same time. These stations accept all sorts of materials, from furniture or appliances to unopened food items. Cain and Abel’s also provides space in its parking lot for students to get rid of some of their bigger pieces of furniture or unwanted materials.

their merchandise. Liquor stores such as Twin Liquors and bookstores like BookPeople will also give out free boxes. Getting your boxes from these places will probably be better because their boxes wouldn’t have been used to store away perishables, which avoids funky smells rubbing off on your favorite cardigan. If you absolutely have to buy boxes, try to stop by Home Depot, where you can find boxes for less than a dollar.

CITY

Austin chapter of Satanic Temple gives back to community By Rolando Hernandez @roliereports

In April 2019, the IRS recognized the Satanic Temple as an official house of worship that now has the tax benefits and protection from discrimination that other religions have had. The Satanic Temple is the first Satanic religion to gain this exemption from the IRS. Amber Turrill, a national council member of the Satanic Temple said they weren’t able to receive the same benefits, such as grants, that other religious offices get because they don’t have a tax-exempt code. “We weren’t able to do a lot of things,” Turrill said. “We just want a seat at the table.” Marshall Smith, business

administrator with the First Baptist Church of Austin, said these nonprofit tax codes help provide the church with additional funding to give back to the community. “We help provide common things the city or county doesn’t provide,” Smith said. At first, Turrill said temple members believed the temple should pay taxes but later realized it is only fair that the Satanic Temple be exempt, too, if other religious organizations aren’t required to pay taxes. With tax exemptions, Smith said the First Baptist Church of Austin was able to aid in the needs of the “underserved and homeless neighbors” by helping with things such as getting state-issued IDs and birth certificates so that they

can apply for assistance and employment programs. However, the first Baptist Church isn’t the only organization that helps the homeless. The Satanic Temple’s Austin chapter has its own way of lending a hand. Even before it was tax exempt, the Satanic Temple had been an active group in the community because of its beliefs. The Temple follows a set of seven fundamental tenets that encourage activism and community service, similar to other religious organizations. Shelby Scates, the Austin chapter’s co-head, said they host an annual Menstruatin’ with Satan fundraiser to purchase feminine care products for women experiencing homelessness. “This initiative was started

to help disenfranchised groups that traditional churches don’t normally help,” Scates said. Another ongoing project the Temple practices is collecting hygiene products for Stop Abuse For Everyone, a nonprofit that aids victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and children facing abuse. Scates said they have collection barrels throughout Austin at local businesses such as The Glass Coffin, a vampire-themed antique and oddities shop. Scates also said the Temple also holds an annual unbaptism where people who feel they were baptized without consent can revoke that. “You either pay the door fee or donate a case of water,” Scates said. “We’re raising bottles of water, it’s a baptism —

kinda symbolic.” Natalie Freeburg, the community relations and volunteer coordinator at Front Steps, said the Temple raised around 500 gallons of water last year for the organization, the nonprofit that manages the Austin Resource Center for the homeless. Freeburg also said the Satanic Temple gifted more than 4,000 water bottles to its clients experiencing homelessness. “They are proactive, kind and committed to helping others,” Freeburg said. With the IRS exemption, Scates said the Austin chapter can hopefully do more. “Having this official recognition is vital for the autonomy of our religion as a whole,” Scates said.
