The AAUP condemns Texas A&M University’s decision to censor over 200 undergraduate core courses, including texts by Plato and fictional texts featuring LGBTQ protagonists and themes. This censorship goes far beyond what is required by Senate Bill 37 and Texas A&M system policies. While new system policies prevent faculty from “advocating” for so-called racial and gender ideologies, it is intellectually dishonest and patently false to equate the rigorous analysis of competing interpretations with ideological indoctrination. Faculty are trained to facilitate critical analysis, not to manufacture consensus or dictate personal belief.
