EXCERPT:
The Texas Tech University regents eliminated several “social justice” classes from the core curriculum during a meeting Wednesday, including one titled “Intersectionalities: Race, Class, and Gender in a Global World.”
In total, the university leaders removed 21 classes from the list of core courses that students must choose from to meet graduation requirements, The Texas Tribune reports.
By comparing the newly approved list to the current core offerings, The Tribune identified several classes on race and gender that the regents removed.
These included “a literature class focused on social justice and the environment, a women’s and gender studies course exploring race, class and gender, and a class on the Holocaust in literature and film,” according to the report.
