Alan Blinder reports:
Regents, who met in College Station on Thursday afternoon, unanimously backed a revised proposal decreeing that no courses “will advocate race or gender ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity” without a campus president’s approval of the course and related materials.
A related measure that regents approved said that faculty members could not “teach material that is inconsistent with the approved syllabus for the course.”
Taken together, the policies represent an effort by Texas A&M system leaders to assert firmer control over classrooms at a time when Republican officials in the state have been accusing public universities of “indoctrinating” students with liberal ideas about race and gender — a movement that has unfolded in parallel to President Trump’s campaign to pressure elite schools. Professors have fired back that conservative politicians are seeking to stifle open debates and intellectual inquiry.
