Texas A&M canceled a graduate ethics course over concerns it didn’t detail race and gender discussions enough under a new state policy.
Texas A&M University canceled a graduate ethics course just three days after it began, citing insufficient detail on how race, gender, and related topics would be addressed, which the university said was required under a new policy limiting discussions on these subjects without an exemption.
The course, taught by Professor Leonard Bright since 2018, focused on equity, critical race theory, and public policy ethics.
While Bright said he had communicated that these topics would be integrated throughout the semester, the university stated the syllabus lacked required specifics to ensure compliance.
The decision is part of broader changes across Texas A&M prompted by a state-mandated policy restricting how race and gender are taught, leading to concerns about academic freedom.
The university said it is helping affected students find alternatives.
