Sneha Dey reports on the latest round of censorship from A&M regents:
Students at 11 Texas A&M University System schools will see fewer classes related to LGBTQ literature, climate change and women writers meet graduation requirements as more than 200 classes are cut from general-education course lists.
System regents voted Thursday to scale back the classes that qualify after a review prompted by a new state law that requires public university boards to examine what classes undergraduates must take regardless of their majors. At the flagship campus in College Station, 78 of the classes will no longer count for toward core requirements. [emphasis added]
Regents must ensure core courses “are foundational and fundamental” for a college education and that they prepare students for civic life and the workforce, according to Senate Bill 37. The law also requires public university governing boards to consider the potential tuition, fee and time costs of those requirements to students.
