Texas A&M announced it will end its women’s and gender studies program, cancel six classes and require changes to hundreds of syllabi after a systemwide review and a viral classroom confrontation. Interim President Tommy Williams framed the move as restoring “academic integrity” and said most course exceptions were granted, while university critics said the change amounts to censorship and erasure of marginalized voices. Faculty and students staged protests on campus and the American Association of University Professors’ local chapter warned the policy limits academic freedom. Texas A&M officials said the canceled classes represent roughly 0.11% of courses this semester and emphasized the decision was partly driven by limited student demand. The episode is likely to fuel national debates over curricular oversight and governance at public research universities.
