The University of Texas System’s board is set to consider a draft policy that would require faculty to disclose and adhere to syllabi and set new guidelines for teaching “controversial and contested” subjects. The proposal frames the rules as principles of academic integrity but leaves key definitions undefined, prompting criticism from the Texas AAUP-AFT and free-speech groups. Critics say the draft could chill classroom debate and replicate precedents set by the Texas A&M policy that led to removed course materials.
