Texas A&M University on Friday announced it is ending its programs in women's and gender studies as part of a broader effort to eliminate teaching related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

The university said it had also modified hundreds of courses and canceled six to comply with a policy adopted last November that prohibits, without approval from the campus president, teaching that "will advocate race or gender ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity."

Ira Dworkin, an associate professor of English at Texas A&M and vice president of the American Association of University Professors at the university's flagship College Station campus, condemned the move as an unprecedented political interference by the university's board of regents, all of whom were appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican.

Republican men already study other men. Inside and out.
