Texas A&M University is ending its women’s and gender studies program, changing the syllabuses of hundreds of courses and canceling six classes as part of a new policy that limits how professors can discuss some race and gender topics, school officials announced Friday.
The changes to and cancellation of courses comes months after a viral video of a student confronting an instructor over her lessons threw Texas A&M, one of the largest universities in the country, into upheaval.
University officials tried to reassure the campus that the impacts of the new policy would be minimal, affecting only a small portion of the classes being offered and that class cancellations wouldn’t create any obstacles preventing students from staying on course to graduate.
“Strong oversight and standards protect academic integrity and restore public trust, guaranteeing that a degree from Texas A&M means something to our students and the people who will hire them,” Interim President Tommy Williams said in a news release. “That has been our focus through this process and will remain our focus as we move forward.”
But faculty and students, hundreds of whom gathered on campus Thursday evening to protest the changes being made under the new policy, have accused Texas A&M of infringing on academic and student freedom.
“They have reduced this marketplace of ideas to now emphasizing or promoting a certain view when it comes to race, gender, and sexuality. And that view is quite literally erasing the experiences of people of color, the LGBTQ+ community,” said Leonard Bright, president of the American Association of University Professors A&M chapter.
Friday’s announcement followed an extensive review by the university of 5,400 courses after the Texas A&M University System regents in November had approved the new policy.

A Texas A&M diploma just got harder to get. No more angry, lesbian women studies.
The problem is administrators and deeply embedded Marxists remain. They must be rooted out.
How big was their official “men’s studies” program?
This is what produces long term gain, rather than venting over the statements of celebrities.
All faygs can just go to ut now. Or TWU.
I’ll bet the Aggie boys will keep on studying them.
This is going to put a lot of lesbian bars and nose piercing shops around campus out of business.
Agreed.
This is evidence of the intellectual dishonesty of the "intellectuals."
They’re replace it with something else cheap to offer with excellent margins.
“LGBTQ+ community” is a quick way of describing a group of mentally unstable people suffering from a self-induced psychosis about their sexual proclivities.
Any degree program with the word “Studies” at the end is probably worthless except to teach others how to be a victim.

Now lets work on the global warming lies/environmental crap.
I studied women quite closely in college.
Never got a formal degree though.
That’s Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University.
Are faggotry, racism, and toxic femaleness in the Agricultural part of the Mechanical part?
But is DEI content canceled both in classes and policies?
Has anyone been fired? The true DEI believers are not going to stop until shown the door. Until demonstrated otherwise I would assume they just changed job and course titles.

YEARS AGO-—I INTERVIEWED FOR AN ACCOUNTING JOB.
INTERVIEWER MADE IT CLEAR THAT I WAS WELL QUALIFIED
WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE PAY RANGE: HE SAID “HE COULD HIRE EITHER A MAN OR A WOMAN, BUT THE MAN WOULD GET PAID MORE BECAUSE ‘HE HAD A FAMILY TO SUPPORT’. “
I FIGURED I WOULD UNLOAD ON HIM & NOT GET THE JOB-—BUT I WOULD GET SATISFACTION.
I TOLD HIM: “ I NEVER GET A FEMALE DISCOUNT AT THE GROCERY STORE-—THE GAS STATION-—THE MORTGAGE COMPANY-—THE CAR DEALER-—THE CLOTHING STORE-—THE ELECTRIC COMPANY-—THE TRASH PICKUP COMPANY——NOT ANYWHERE”
I ONLY THAT “DISCOUNT” IN MY PAYCHECK-——
HE LOOKED A BIT DOUR & THEN HE HIRED ME AT THE HIGHER RATE OF PAY.
I ALREADY OWNED MY OWN HOUSE & CAR.
NOW 86 & ON 3RD PROPERTY I HAVE OWNED -—BY MYSELF
Ethnic studies (hate whitey studies) should go as well.
