Texas A&M closed its women's and gender studies program after a course review found courses misaligned with a new system board policy limiting classroom discussions of "race or gender ideology," and officials cited low enrollment. Conservative advocates praised the decision as a model for ensuring degree programs are "value-neutral" and cost-efficient. Since 2023, multiple universities including New College of Florida, Wichita State, and Towson have also shuttered similar programs. The National Women's Studies Association reports scholars are saddened, frightened, and enraged, and warns that intensified political and financial pressures will likely drive further scrutiny and closures.
