Texas A&M Cuts Over 100 Classes, Many Involving Race, Gender, and Sexuality
The proposal would narrow core requirements as regents review courses under a new state law, with some campuses listing additions alongside 200-plus removals.
- On Thursday, September 3, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents voted to scale back graduation requirements across 11 campuses by removing more than 200 courses from general-education lists.
- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's administration mandated the review under Senate Bill 37, which requires university governing boards to ensure all core courses are "foundational and fundamental" for a college education and workforce preparation.
- The agenda packet contains 360 entries marked "remove" across the system, with Texas A&M University in College Station proposing the largest reduction of 103 classes.
- Dr. Leonard Bright, president of the American Association of University Professors chapter at Texas A&M-College Station, called the move "a political decision," warning the cuts prioritize ideology over global education the university once protected.
- While the University of Houston reduced its core menu from 241 to 144, regents also listed 27 entries marked "add" at seven universities to meet new state requirements.
