Texas A&M Students and Faculty Protest Policy Limiting Race, Gender, and Sexuality Discussions.

Over 300 students, faculty, and alumni protested at Texas A&M University on January 29, 2026, opposing System Policy 08.01, which restricts discussions on race, gender, and sexuality in the core curriculum. Demonstrators, citing threats to academic freedom and constitutional rights, called for the policy’s reversal, citing course cancellations and syllabus changes. The protest, part of ongoing campus activism since September, featured speeches, chants, and symbolic displays, with organizers vowing continued advocacy for unrestricted academic expression.
