Texas A&M University System Regents to Vote on Removing Over 200 Courses from Core Curriculum

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents is scheduled to vote on a proposal to remove more than 200 courses, including those related to LGBTQ literature, climate change, women's and gender studies, and race and ethnicity, from the general-education course lists at 11 system schools. This review is in response to a new state law (Senate Bill 37) requiring public universities to ensure core courses are "foundational and fundamental" and prepare students for civic life and the workforce. Critics describe the move as an overreach of the bill.
