Let $A = k[x_1 , \dots , x_n] / I$ be a commutative Koszul algebra; that is, the ideal $(x_1 , \dots , x_n)$ has linear minimal free resolution. Does it follow that the ideal generated by any subset of variables $(x_{i_1} , \dots , x_{i_\ell})$ also has a linear minimal free resolution?
The answer seems to be yes. Indeed, it seems like the resolution of the subset of variables is obtained as a direct summand of the Priddy (generalized Koszul) complex, which is acyclic by the Koszul assumption on $A$. Probably this subcomplex is realized as a Tate construction, and I was looking for a reference (or a quick proof/counterexample) of the question in the title.
