A Texas A&M dean has been removed after they promoted material shared by a professor relating to transgenderism, prompting a student to raise concerns that the content violated the law.
Texas A&M President Mark Welsh said in a statement that he has “directed the provost to remove the dean and department head from their administrative positions, effective immediately,” after they “approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description.”
“Our students use the published information in the course catalog to make important decisions about the courses they take in pursuit of their degrees,” Hegar continued. “If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down. When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.”
Chancellor Glenn Hegar said in a statement that it is “unacceptable for A&M System faculty to push a personal political agenda.”
“We have been tasked with training the next generation of teachers and childcare professionals. That responsibility should prioritize protecting children not engaging in indoctrination,” he stated, adding, “Early investigations appear to indicate that the professor who taught this course failed to comply with clear instructions to align course descriptions with course materials. Further findings reveal that this failure continues to be an issue with this professor.”
In the video of the student’s discussion with the professor, the professor can be heard saying, “What we are doing is not illegal, and if you would like to make the claim that it is, you need to talk to the department head or the head of undergraduates.”
