From the Texas Tribune:
Students at 11 Texas A&M University System schools will see fewer classes related to LGBTQ literature, climate change and women writers meet graduation requirements as more than 200 classes are cut from general-education course lists.
System regents voted Thursday to scale back the classes that qualify after a review prompted by a new state law that requires public university boards to examine what classes undergraduates must take regardless of their majors.
At the flagship campus in College Station, 78 of the classes will no longer count for toward core requirements.
Courses set to be removed at the flagship school include introduction to women’s and gender studies; LGBTQ literatures; introduction to Latinx literature studies; women writers; introduction to race and ethnicity; gender and health; Blacks in the United States; Bible as literature and climate change.
