COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M University System regents adopted a new policy on Thursday requiring professors to receive approval from the school’s president to discuss some race and gender topics. The changes come months after a viral video of a student confronting an instructor over her lessons threw the campus into upheaval.
The new policy will apply to all 12 schools within the system, including at Texas A&M, the flagship campus that is one of the largest universities in the country.
The new policy states that no academic course “will advocate race or gender ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity” unless approved in advance by a campus president.
The new policy appears to be the first time that a public university system in Texas has put in rules on what faculty can talk about in their classroom on the topics of race and gender.
