Texas A&M University announced it will end its Women’s Studies program and has revised hundreds of courses covering race and gender after new campus policies restricting how those subjects are taught, university officials said. Administrators warned the changes could damage the school’s reputation and sparked internal protests from faculty and students. Department chairs and curriculum committees have reworked syllabi, degree requirements and learning outcomes to comply with state guidance and board directives that limit certain framings of race and gender. Faculty leaders say the rules impose significant operational burdens and risk undermining academic freedom in humanities and social‑science programs. The decision adds to a growing list of state‑level interventions into campus curricula; legal challenges, faculty governance disputes and accreditation questions may follow. University leaders elsewhere will be watching for litigation outcomes and for potential impacts on faculty recruitment and external grant relationships.
